I am signing this petition as our government has now further managed to aid to the collapse of basic human needs. We have to deal with loadshedding on a daily basis and now we have no water for 10 days.

I gave not had water for 9 days! My basic human right has been taken away from me! CoJ and Rand Water need to take ownership and accountability for the lack of service delivery.

Water is my human right. I am an upright citizen who pays bills including water bills ahead of the due date, now I don't have the extra cash to buy water. I have a skin disorder that requires me to shower twice a day, I've been unable to shower for 12 days.

I'm gatvol of no water- It effects more than just us. Randburg homeless can't get safe drinking water and it's effecting the health of many including us in the households.

It's incured an extra expense to families who already are just surviving.

How can you work, wash clothes, bath, stay hygienic with no water!!!!!

This is a basic right!!!!!!

It has been 10 days without water and no real solution from Joburg water or Rand water. Their service is appalling. A solution and proper communication are required. Enough is enough.

Karen Gould (Randburg, 2024-03-12)

There has been NO water in Bordeaux North for 10 days, and no end in sight.
Rand water has had 4 electrical breakdowns in 11 days and can't, or won't pump water to the Linden tower and others. This is inexcusable. Water is a basic human right. The COJs solution is to provide water tankers. That is not a solution. Elderly, sick, disabled and others can't go to tankers . There's no water to flush toilets etc. wash, bath, drink, clean . The JHB mayor is silent on the issue.

I live in Randburg and I'm struggling with a basic need which is water. Imagine how we bath with 25ltr of water,how do we cook and my child goes to school yet doing laundry is a luxury because we are approaching 2 weeks of no running water we depend on water trucks to supply us with water...not taking away appreciation for having water trucks deliver water for us, I buy metered water so it would be nice to have a bath or go to the toilet without worrying about do I have enough water in my bucket

My daughter reminded me that we have a right to clean water, it is apart of our human rights, just like education is. Im signing this petition as part of a suburb that cannot get their voices heard no matter how loud they shout. For service delivery that is not forth coming. For the fear that even if water is restored the next cris of burst pipes will arise, again resulting in water shutdown for hours at a time. Road are then dug up to repair the pipes leaving an unsightly mess, not to mention a hazard.
When is enough.

Michelle Usher (Johannesburg, 2024-03-12)

We have not had water for nine days. This is violating our basic human right

Gera Louw (Randburg , 2024-03-12)

#136

I fully agree with all points and believe accountability must be made 10 days without water is unacceptable.

Noel Kreason Redduly (Jhb, 2024-03-13)

We need water

We had no water for 9 days and the government didn’t seem to care or take the ward counsellors/issues seriously. It took around 5 days for emergency tankers to be distributed. It’s not only a blatant human rights violation but a breach of the South African Constitution.

Ayla Jade Newton (Johannesburg, 2024-03-13)

I am signing this petition because of the incompetence of Rand Water, Joburg Water and the Johannesburg mayor.Why was regional leadership silent for ten days??? Why? So we can be accused of undermining black leadership?? Absolutely revolted by the ruling party. After 10 days without water it was restored (for a mere 8 hours) after it was discovered a valve was found to be in the closed position. How is this incompetence allowed to continue. WHO is going to be held responsible. This is revolting. Poor, poor leadership.

Emma Morris (Johannesburg, 2024-03-13)

I Justin Egling,
Signing petition request our water systems to start working again. This is our human right, we have family and businesses to run, and keep people's jobs. Water is a must, it is a basic need and human right for us all. We need to take action and Rand Water needs to get a hefty fine. Hope this matter of action is taken into accord.

Justin Egling (Johannesburg, 2024-03-13)

Water as a service is a basic human right which we pay for and do not receive. There is no urgency attached to the failure and no regular feedback by those who are supposed to deliver . The stories we here and feedback we receive is a joke. Those responsible need to be held accountable

Petition to Randburg Local Government: Urgent Action Needed on Water Crisis Randburg-

This petition urges the RandWater, Local Municipality, government and water supply authorities to address the critical water shortage affecting our community for the past 10 days.

As a Resident my Concerns include :

Lack of Communication: The complete absence of information from the government regarding the water crisis and its resolution is unacceptable.
Health Risks: The lack of water has severely impacted residents' health, with cases of gastric flu being medically confirmed in our local schools and homes-
Financial Burden: Residents have been forced to incur additional costs to purchase bottled water for daily use and purification.
Improper Sanitation: The water shortage has led to the depletion of private water reserves, hindering proper sanitation practices.
Petition Demands:

Immediate restoration of the water supply in Randburg. Please open up that valve!
Clear and consistent communication from the government regarding the cause of the water crisis and the timeline for its resolution.
Compensation for the additional expenses incurred by residents due to the water shortage.
We urge the government to take immediate action to address this critical situation and ensure the well-being of its residents.

It's a human right to have water 💧 and tankers were not enough and never stayed long .We cannot survive without water

This is a totally disgusting and unacceptable situation- it’s now 10 going on 11 days without a drop of water.
The infrastructural problems in this country are well documented but more importantly the no care attitude by city officials and departments like the Rand Water Board is pathetic

Brian Lichter (Randburg , 2024-03-13)

No water for 11 days is inhumane.
