I believe it is a basic human right to receive clean drinking water from the powers in charge

John Clark (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#406

Its the all round incompetence & lack of maintenance, combined with the disastrous inconsistent load shedding that has created the shortages, never the lack of the water sanitation & purification operations - they are also a disaster & contribute to this unthinkable situation!

Ray Jansen van Rensburg (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

Water is a basic human right, and we are not supposed to be begging for it. Especially as it's something we pay for and not getting for free.

#449

Violation of our constitutional rights to not have access to clean running water - the lack thereof (clean running water) is a health hazard and will cause a further outbreak of Cholera and other borne diseases due to unhygienic conditions.

This is not to mention the pressure that it places on our sanitary home systems and the repair and cost thereof as well as the municipal sewerage lines which WILL result in further blockages and a mass overflow and further borne disease outbreaks.

Terri Du Rand (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#455

Because Brentwood Park has been without water for 9 days. No accountability from Ekurhuleni, no solutions shared, and no end in sight. Old age homes are battling because the elderly cannot carry 5 liters of water safely and children are unable to bath. Yet we are consistently hit with rate hikes. What is going on?

Sean Turck (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#458

Kevin Dix (Johannesburg , 2023-03-22)

Angelique Lewis (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#497

I pay for it. I want it when I want it. No amount of incompetence should undermine our human dignity.

Jed Auret (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#498

The continuous lack of water to Benoni residents is of great concern.

Within the same areas in Benoni, residents are being subjected to electricity issues that are similar in nature to the the water issues.

Nefarious activities (criminal, or not) to score political points is placing each resident (and by extension their families) in a position of extreme vulnerability.

The continuous lack of water and electricity in Benoni far exceeds the water and electricity challenges experienced in other towns and their respective suburbs.

We, the rate paying residents of Benoni, respectfully demand this be investigated, and a permanent workable solution derived to the satisfaction of all.

It is not acceptable to expect payment for a service that is not 1) accessible and 2) unreliable. The Constitution of South Africa and The Consumer Council both validate our rights in this regard.

Sandy Lennon (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#500

I'M SIGNING THIS PETITION AS NOBODY WANTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT OUR HUMAN RIGHTS TO HAVE WATER! WE DON'T HAVE WATER WITH A LOAD OF GARBAGE GIVEN AS EXCUSES. I NEED WATER TO DRINK, SHOWER, FLUSH MY TOILET. I AM GETTING CHARGED FOR USAGE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE IF I DON'T HAVE WATER? WE HAVE RIGHTS! ELDERLY AND SICK RESIDENTS DON'T HAVE ANYWAY TO GET TO TANKERS WHICH IS DEPLOYED DAYS AFTER WATER HAS STOPPED.

Mike Phillips (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

Unacceptable how ekhurhuleni/randwater cannot sort this out. People should not have to live without water. Its very unhygienic.

Denise Baillie (Bemoni, 2023-03-22)

#517

Due to the ANC led Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation and the Management of Rand Water, particularly Mr Ramateu Monyokolo and Mr Sipho Mosai, residents in the affected Benoni 2 & 3 reservoir areas are being denied their basic human rights by the incompetent ANC cadre deployment appointments. We pay our rates and taxes, and we have to put up with this shocking non service delivery by bloody idiots.

E Magner (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#518

I am signing this petition as I support the investigation into reasons for constant water "shedding", low pressure or no water available and ot the fully restoration of available water system to all community and rate payers as the current water system is Human Rights infringement

I am signing because I am sick and tired of not having water that I pay for and have to drive all the way to Kempton Park to relatives to have a shower before work thr next day, as well as not being able to wash dishes or clothes or even have some water to drink.

Brandon Earl (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#524

I am sick and tired of the constant water outages in Benoni.

The persons responsible for the misuse of the funds set aside to prevent this should be disciplined and then dismissed since they are serving no useful and are a waste of the taxpayers hard earned money.

It's is time that there is accountability across all levels of service (sic), the current situation can not continue as it is.

Ian Easton (Benoni , 2023-03-22)

#525

We have a constitutional right to have water, yet we constantly are without water, with excuses from Rand Water. We have never had water issues like this in the past so why is it now suddenly an issue??

Selwyn Schwenk (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#526

Water is a basic human right!!

Michele May (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#527

Something needs to be done. Our basic needs are not being met and payment is demanded.

Brittany Knight (Johannnesburg, 2023-03-22)

#528

It is unacceptable that residents have to go days without water. The feeble excuses of loadshedding is tiresome.. clearly a lack of planning on RW part. Residents across the city are affected including the previously disadvantaged who suffer more because of an absolute no care attitude!!! Unacceptable!!!!

Lenore Schwenk (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#529

I live in Benoni and experience water outages daily.

Ryk Prinsloo (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#532

I am sick and tired of the total lack of service delivery, unscheduled water supply outages and total lack of communication from Rand Water! We are being lied to and misled with regards to the actual situation at hand and I suspect that sabotage or political foul play is going on!!

Dave Braithwaite (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#535

Lack of responsibility by managemen of managing rand water board effectively there unproductivity and ignorance of there dutys and responsibility towards all there clients as well as there mandate that is a serious lack of there duties.

#543

I’m signing because I have the right to water and this is currently not supplied every day and there are shortages due to insufficient pumping to the reservoirs.

Gwen Pape’ (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

The continuous water outages in Benoni is unacceptable. We can not go on like this. Water is a basic need and we are prevented from getting it due to mismanagement.

Living with water outages is becoming antenable.

Cornelius Roos (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#553

I am signing because the water situation is getting ridiculous... turning off the pump at hight cause of low water the taking all day to try and get water back or even longer cause you are situated at the end of the line when everyone else has and uses it indiscriminately and not worry about the other people who also need

Patricia Minihold (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#555

It is a terrible inconvenience to be without water. We can't prepare to go to work. We come home . . No water !! We can't cook. We pay our water rates and taxes diligently but end up spending ridiculous amounts of money anyway on bottled water so that we can at least try and function. Our animals are done a great injustice as we struggle to keep their water bowls full. We are linked to B16 which in turn is linked to the pumps. If there is load shedding needless to say we have no water at the most crucial times when we have to go to work or come home to prepare meals. This is beyond ridiculous!

Marinda Visser (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#556

Water very important people cannot survive without it. I think it's despicable that Rand Water states that they can no longer support Gauteng with water. Our president state's that infrastructure has improved exponentially in the last
3 decades??? That is just another lie.

Rhona McTaggrt (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#561

There should be absolutely no reason for water outages and using load shedding as the cause is not acceptable.

Richard Bernhardt (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#562

The lack of any logical explanation for the regular absence of water supply over the past year is totally unacceptable. The arrogance displayed by those responsible within the municipality beggars belief.

Michael Ward (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

Having clean running water is a basic human right.

Sharon Van Zyl (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

Willow White (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#565

I'm fed up with not having any water for days on end. There us also no communication from the water department as to why we have mo water or what they are doing to resolve the issues nir us there any time line given as to how long it will take to fix these various issues it took my husband to contact various DA councillors on whatsapp yesterday to resolve the issue we had with not having water since last week. Utterly frustrated with this whole problem and the way it gets handled.

Janet Odendaal (Norton home estates Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#574

I live in the affected area and am appalled by the impact this has on sanitation and well being both in my own home as well as in schools, hospitals, homes for the aged, homes for orphans, animal welfare organizations based in Benoni and the many small businesses and restaurants in our area. During Covid it was critical to instill good hygiene practises to keep us safe but this is made impossible when there is no municipal water.

Carol Lowe (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

I am sick and tired of every excuse given to our cirizens of Benoni, while people in surrounding areas who also gets water from Rand Water have no problem at all receiving water. Water is a necessity, which we as tax payers pay for.

Rhona Van Vollenstee (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#592

Water is a basic requirement of life and the blame game between Rand Water needs to stop and a solution be found without delay.

Terry Donachie (Benoni, 2023-03-22)

#593

It is time we received clean water all the time. It is not only our right to have water, but not having water results in diseases and could even end up with someone dying from it. It is time Rand Water sorted their issues out and did what they are being paid to do - let the public have water.

Debra-Ann Timmerman (Be oni, 2023-03-22)
