I am so tired of the water outages. It’s enough to suffer with electrical outages but water outages are not acceptable.

Joanne Karidis (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

Belinda Laubscher (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#36

The contingency plan from erwat or rand water have not taken the continuous load shedding frequency into account and considering that it's been around since 2008 is quite pathetic. Everyone in south africa has had to invest in some form of backup system..........why haven't they done the same considering their massive profit last financial year

Kevin O'Hare (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#37

I'm tired of the water shortages and the lies we are always told

#58

I live in an area where we constantly battle with little to no water. It is a daily struggle to do simple things like using a washing machine, washing dishes, and even showering/bathing. We've had to use our swimming pool as means of a bath over the past couple weeks. It's frustrating to say the least

Sarah Ruthven (Airfield, 2023-03-22)

#60

I am signing because the water outages has caused alot of unnecessary stress in our household. This is due to not being able to wash dishes, do laundry, give our 2 year old a bath before leaving, cook our food or practice basic hygiene the house for the day. We pay alot of rates and taxes each month but service delivery in all aspecs keeps going down. Time for this to stop.

Robert Kuhl (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

Wasilla Mohamed (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

I believe Rand Water can no longer keep up with supply of water to Benoni residents. We cannot continue in this manner.

#100

As part of the Benoni community who has to battle with water cuts on a permanent basis for the last few months, I am FURIOUS that I am still expected to just keep paying for a service that never works! Measures need to taken to end this disaster. This is my basic human right!

Tammy Nel (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#105

Water pressure is always low, or there is no water at all. Feels like water shedding. Enough already nothing works these days, but we must keep on paying.

Hugo Mynhardt (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#113

I'm signing because of the water outages and lack of communication.

Tanya Maudsley (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#115

We the residents of Benoni, within the City of Ekurhuleni, herewith petition the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation and the Management of Rand Water, particularly Mr Ramateu Monyokolo and Mr Sipho Mosai, over the constant water outages in Benoni. The Benoni 2 & 3 reservoirs service the following suburbs: Northmead, Airfield, Rynfield, Farrarmere, Farrarmere Gardens, Goedeburg, Brentwood Park, Norton Home Estate, Northvilla, Rynfield AH, Benoni North AH and surrounding areas. This is in excess of 35 000 properties, with more than 20 Old Age Homes, and 17 schools with approximately 18 000 children.


We call for an investigation into -
• the lack of communication / feedback of the said water outages / restrictions.
• the reasons for the continuing Water shortages throughout Benoni.
• the reasons why Benoni 2 & 3 reservoirs are not filling to their capacity, nor filling at the same rate simultaneously.


According to section 27(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, everyone has the right to have access to 'sufficient' water; however this is not the case as Benoni 2 and 3 Reservoirs have consistently had low / or no water supply. These reservoirs are key water points that supply water to the residents of Benoni The residents of Benoni urgently request that Rand Water provides a long-term solution to the continuing and regular water outages experienced in the area by, ensuring water is delivered timeously and in sufficient quantities to maintain the optimum levels in Benoni 2 & 3 Reservoirs. The residents furthermore request that communications be sent out timeously from Rand Water to officials in the City of Ekurhuleni, so that communications are sent out urgently and water points/tankers are set up in preparation for water outages.

Arno van Zyl (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#116

Water is a fundamental constitutional right and we are being deprived of this. Failure by RandWater to maintain the infrastructure calls into question their capability to supply water - perhaps this monopoly should be investigated?

Anne Dunkley (Benoni, Gauteng, 2023-03-22)

#119

Everyone has a right to water and that right has been violated in the past weeks.

Claudia Schaft (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#121

The water outage are out of control and the is time we have to sit without water for 4-5 daes

Wikus Prince (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#122

I'm signing because the number of water shortages is unacceptable and every time we are charged for air flowing past the meter before the water returns. This is up to half an hour of air being registered.

Nigel Shipston (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#124

We do have constantly no water

Susan Van Vuuren (Northmead, 2023-03-22)

#127

Noelene Mc Kenzie (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#141

I live in a Retirement Village in Brentwood Park and we are constantly having water problems - little to no water or low water pressure.

Glenn Curtis (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#142

The water issue in Benoni is out of hand, we sit without water for days on end, this includes schools, old age homes and creches. It's now become a human rights issue. The dams are full, there is no excuse. This is simply due to incompetence and indifference.

Michele Klemp (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#143

It is unacceptable to be without water for such long periods of time, more so when you are a law abiding, tax paying citizen

Justin Turck (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

Rand water must start doing the job they get paid for

Johan Pteston (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#152

According to section 27(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (the Constitution), the supreme law of South Africa, everyone has the right to have access to 'sufficient' water.

In Benoni this right has been ignored for way too long now and the quality of the drops of water we get is horrid. We are buying water for consumption as the Doctors in Benoni has advised us not to drink the water. This is not acceptable.

Leana Pitout (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#155

Our area is always struggling with water supplies seemingly more than other areas near us.

This is gone too far now. This is inhumane!

Cheryl Viljoen (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#161

I am sick and tired of no water, and lots of excuses. I can't bath in the morning because RW cannot get the reservoir filled, NEVERMIND the running meter when their is air in the lines, and I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING I DON'T HAVE!!!!!!!!!!

Ashleigh Miller (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#163

I'am signing because I am sick and tired of the lack of service delivery of the basic requirements of life today. . Furthermore the information provided to the council's by rand water is pathetic to say the least. It contradicts it self all the time. We are fed up with the stream of lies that are given. If we were told the truth perhaps we would could deal with the situation better.

Peter Horn (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#164

We do not get the water we pay so dearly for. It is disgusting that we can often go for hours or days at a time with no water, and that there is no accountability to the person's responsible for this.

Julia Davis (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#165

Fed up with the constant outages and poor management from Rand Water

Stephen Hinchley (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#166

We are paying for services you can't deliver. Then when we do have water the first while the air flows through but my water meter clicks over so you are billing me for air as your system doesn't work. This happens after each outage.

Sean Kleingeld (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#168

I am sick and tired of not being able to shower, not being able to care for my small garden

George Hardy (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#170

We have big problems with water we don't get water and have to buy water for my dog's

Frankie Engel (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#173

We are tired of the bad service

Francis Le Roux (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#174

The constant lack of water is a constitutional violation. This alongside the persistent lack of communication is nothing less than a total failure by the national government to fulfill its mandated responsibilities to the country as a whole. Lack of water poses a catastrophic health hazard to those thousands of us affected. This must be dealt with immediately via action alone

Jonathan Moloney (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#178

We run a nursery School in airfield Benoni and the constant water outages makes thing's extremely difficult for us to do even simple tasks like washing hands and using the bathroom. To have running water is a absolute must.

Sherilee Bolton (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#179

Water is our basic right … stop corruption and utilise our money appropriately

Amanda Gerber (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#182

Water is a basic human right which we are being denied on a regular

Lindy Spencer (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#183

The water situation is a joke. The dams are full but we go days without water and with ridiculous excuses. Water is a basic human right.

Bonnie Saacks (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#184

I am very upset about the water problems every day ,some days no water

Herman Du Preez (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#185

Water is a basic human right and staying days with out water is not fair while still paying for services that are not delivered.

We understand shortterm interuptions but this is going on for days.

Mari van wyk (Northmead, 2023-03-22)

#186

The water outages are significant and have become severe. We want answers

Robyn Gould (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#187

Getting tired of having to make a plan to get water into my house

Wayne Stevens (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#188

I feel that water services have to be provided to all and specifically to paying citizens. And that if there is a water crisis and water gets switched off I an area, that all the people being affected in the area that are paying for their water, needs to be compensated for the days they could not use water or water bills to be adjusted for the times water was not available

Tenei De Villiers (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#189

We're tired of paying for services and not receiving it. We cannot go on like this with little to no water. Get it sorted.

Umesh Daya (Farrarmere, 2023-03-22)

#191

In Airfield Benoni we are constantly not having water. This problem has been around for about 2 years and is now getting worse bt the day. I have resorted to having to boil my pool water to bath.

Gavin Badenhorst (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#192

The lack of a reliable water supply is a problem and Rand Water is not being honest about the reasons nor do they appear to take their inability to provide clean water as their problem. If there are too many residents in the area covered by the reservoirs, they need to put a plan in place to sort out the problem

Madelaine Smith (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#193

The water crisis is due to negligence and incompetence. This water crisis costs us a lot more money and inflation is the highest in 14 years. The dams are overflowing and precious water is wasted instead of filling the reservoirs. The water shortage is a great inconvenience as well as a health risk

Marlene Meyer (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#194

Our dams are full and we dont have water...my Mom is elderly and cant battle with buckets...
