Mayor Morero to Account to Parliament for Joburg’s Water Crisis

Dear Editor

Mayor of Johannesburg, Dada Morero, will appear before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation to account for the growing water crisis across the City of Johannesburg this Friday, 19 September.

He will also appear with the MD of Joburg Water to ensure the full truth on what is happening in Joburg.

For months the DA has exposed the City’s failing water system. From leaks that run for years without repair, to Rand Water reservoirs plunging, and most recently, the R4 billion that Mayor Morero quietly shifted away from Johannesburg Water while residents were left queuing at tankers.

It is now clear: the DA’s fight for accountability is seeing action. On Friday, the Mayor will have to answer three urgent questions:

  1. Why he has left his crisis to continue to deteriorate?
  2. Whether he will support Johannesburg Water in workable plan to fix this, and by when?
  3. How he justifies as Mayor cutting billions from water infrastructure when people can’t even rely on a working tap?

Johannesburg’s residents have been patient for too long. They deserve answers, not excuses.

The DA will not stop until every rand allocated to water is used for fixing leaks, repairing infrastructure, and restoring dignity to communities across the City.

Regards

Stephen Moore MP
DA Spokesperson on Water & Sanitation
