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.

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)

#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)

#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

#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)

#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 last3 decades??? That is just another lie.

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.
