Johannesburg and the large township of Soweto nearby have been forced to endure several days without water as electricity problems have knocked out pumping stations and a late summer heat wave has strained reservoirs.
Residents have been forced to rely on bottled water as local utilities have turned down water pressure, or turned off water completely. And outside Johannesburg’s wealthier, leafy suburbs, spare water has been in short supply.
South Africa’s Daily Maverick reported:
On Sunday, 17 March, Johannesburg Water said the system remained under “severe strain”, and the bulk supplier, Rand Water, warned that its system faced imminent collapse. Many taps are still as dry as a bone.
…
The water cuts, low pressure and throttling affect the entire system; only some areas have regular supplies. Large parts of Soweto had dry taps and residents reported that local shops ran out of bottled water or could not afford to buy more. Johannesburg Water has between 25 and 28 water tankers – insufficient for the scale of the crisis.
…
Rand Water says the heatwave is driving the crisis, as its water demand chart shows. Southern Africa is facing its hottest February and March. … The weather is a factor, but Johannesburg generally has hot summers which are predictable for water planners.

South Africa is the canary in the cage for Western countries as to what the end result is of mass, unfettered, 3rd world immigration.
Basically, yes.
South Africa is a one-party, marxist government, so they start with the notion of low-cost, under-market electricity prices for poor people (and ANC constituents). But its also corrupt as hell, and utilities are run by political appointees and cronies, who are robbing them blind. Everything is slowly grinding to a halt. Extreme violence and collapse is coming to South Africa.
Maybe U2 can write a song about it.
so is wearing clothes and cultivating food crops.
I just fear for the Whites that still have to live in that hell hole
Name one country run by a black that is prosperous?
The ANC will blame white people, and order their extermination.
“ They killed or drove away the whites that ran the water system ?”
Yes
This is what authoritarianism provides an oversupply of, to the detriment of all.
Have you heard
South Africa is arid.
It was only made habitable when whites came and built dams and irrigation systems.
Which are now breaking down from lack of intelligent maintenance.
They need to decolonize South Africa and send the Bantu invaders back to their countries and let the native white population take back full control.
BTTT
And every other item related to infrastructure and FOOD!
That’s ok, they’ll all be here using our electricity soon enough.
Probably.
Just remove the white colonizers from supervisory positions. What could go wrong?
Jackson water system is failing, city will be with no or little drinking water indefinitely
I’m sure Joementia will be flying them all over here for “humanitarian “ reasons
They will find a way.
