Joburg's Mayor and MD Joburg Water to appear this Friday in front of Parliamentary Oversight Committee on Water and Sanitation. On Friday, 19 September at 09:00, the Executive Mayor of Johannesburg, Cllr Dada Morero, and the MD of Johannesburg Water will appear before

I was not impressed with Mayor Dada Morero’s responses in committee today. Full session linked in comments so you can judge for yourself. My view: Not enough resources are being committed to address the crisis. Worse water outages are coming as summer heat and demand rise.

Earlier today I joined Cllr Cllr Kyle Jacobs at the Brixton Reservoir & Tower. Brixton has faced a growing water challenge for the past month — and now high-lying areas are running dry. 🎥👇 (1/5)

Working this morning in Credi Section in Katlehong Ward 50 in the City of Ekurhuleni with Cllr Lucky Dinake and our team of awesomeness activists. We are growing and working towards our AGM in this area and across Katlehong. The DA is growing!

Spent my day in my constituency working with our passionate activists. Our DA Katlehong branches are actively growing, recruiting members, having AGMs, engaging communities on issues and being a part of building a better Katlehong. #ForwardTo2026!

🚨 Johannesburg Water is being drained dry by the City's failing finances, leaving the utility without the R4 billion it’s owed. The DA calls for phased ring-fencing to protect cash, pay suppliers on time, and get critical water infrastructure on track. da.org.za/2025/11/da-exp…

The yellow line represents pumped volumes (4786 Ml/d) on average. This is the water that Rand Water produces and pumps. The blue line represents the volumes which reach the customers (4560 Ml/d on average).

In 2026 I’m planning to post daily: • What I’m doing in Parliament on Water & Sanitation • Simple explainers (NRW, Blue/Green Drop, Water availability) • How water works in different places • Constituency work in Katlehong If there’s a South African water topic you want

Non-Revenue Water (NRW) is water that’s produced and pumped into the network, but never paid for - due to leaks, bursts, faulty meters, and illegal connections. High NRW means less reliable supply, more outages, and higher costs. What else would you lie to know about NRW?

SA’s national NRW is around 47% (2023). That’s water treated and pumped, but not recovered through billing/revenue. (1/5)

Rand Water’s Eikenhof maintenance (6–8 Jan) is understandably making Joburg anxious. But planned maintenance is how you prevent bigger failures in bulk systems. Expect: reduced supply, reservoirs dropping in some areas, and recovery taking days - not hours. (1/5)

Non-revenue water (NRW) shows how much treated water municipalities never earn income from - because of leaks, theft, metering failures and unbilled use. Here’s how South Africa’s major metros compare against the national target of <25%. The differences are not small - and they

I asked DWS what each metro has spent on water tanker services and tanker vehicles (past 3 financial years + since 1 April 2025). Their reply: DWS doesn’t provide tankers on behalf of municipalities. That’s not what I asked. Residents deserve a transparent metro-by-metro tanker

In Parliament today for a big finance agenda: ✅ Tax bills (Tax Administration & Taxation Laws Amendment) ✅ Special Appropriation Bill ✅ 2025 MTBPS ✅ Adjustments Appropriation Bill Budgets aren’t speeches - they’re choices that determine delivery (including water &

Rand Water’s graph tells a simple story: 🟡 Pumped: ~4 751 ML/day (produced + pumped) 🔵 Delivered: ~4 519 ML/day (to customers) ➡️ Gap: ~232 ML/day ≈ 5% That’s what low bulk NRW looks like. When pumping dips during maintenance or faults (often normally closer to around 5

Gauteng’s water demand is at a record high. This isn’t a “someday” problem - it’s the kind of trend that turns a hot week or a small fault into real outages. Start with the combined chart 👇 #RandWater #Gauteng (1/7)

I’m Stephen Moore MP (DA Spokesperson on Water & Sanitation). Today I’m in Knysna for a Dam-to-Tap oversight visit - showing how water should move through the system, and where it’s failing. The Western Cape Government has asked national government to declare a state of

Minister Majodina has now approved additional water abstraction for Rand Water after the DA called for this action on 11 Feb. This will help build buffers while the Vaal Dam is over capacity and should ease outages, especially for high-lying areas and end-of-line suburbs. But
