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.

Didn’t seem to have this problem years ago.
“...obscure lyric...”
LOL, not “obscure” to me....
DEI? Yeah, plus tribals will be tribals. Same thing happens on US indian reservations: to the victorious clans go the $poil$, and to hell w/ those nasty little infrastructure thingies.
Get out the pen and phone, call for whitey (plus whine for more $$), bring whitey in to fix things, then kick them the hell out. Rinse, repeat.
Good thing they got rid of all the competent white men or things would be really bad.

“Other than the water and the sewer system, what have the white people ever done for us?”
“Well they took care of crime. Used to be you couldn’t walk the streets at night.”

“ WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER.”
No, we don’t.

82.6% black.
Providing clean water is racist.
“I’m sure Joementia will be flying them all over here for ‘humanitarian’ reasons”
And giving them “jobs” maintaining our infrastructure.
Monty Python... love it!
LOL, not “obscure” to me....“
True for me too. You, Dfwgator and l have our own mainstream.
Indeed.
What other once thriving white run cities can you think of that failed and why do you think that happened? I have worked and lived in Lagos and Luanda. Both were once relatively nice cities. Certainly not now. I wonder what happened to them?

They are now just another tribe in that fractious nation, just like the Ndebele, Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi, etc...
They need their own homeland.
“They need their own homeland”
The way it was explained to me by another Freeper with family there is that even if they want to leave they are restricted from exodus by some sort of ill-conceived lottery system.
So basically they are being made to stay to be punished......that’s the way I see it anyway.
BTTT
Yup! Cuz their own infrastructure is amazing! 🙄
UniParty scheme ...to get more “refugee” voters into Red counties
