Midrand residents protest after nearly a week without water

Frustration boiled over in Midrand as residents took to the streets after enduring a six-day water outage. Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero joined Phemelo to address the unfolding water crisis, explain what led to the prolonged disruption, and outline what the city is doing to restore supply. The mayor also responded to controversy around the suspension of Rea Vaya bus services in Soweto, adding another layer of pressure on the metro’s service delivery challenges.
