About this episode

The episode discusses the recent water outages in Johannesburg and features an update from Johannesburg Water's Operations Manager.

For many Johannesburg residents, the past week and weekend have been defined by dry taps, low water pressure and growing frustration as water outages affected several parts of the city. Earlier today, Johannesburg Water indicated that supply has largely been restored, but some areas are still expected to experience intermittent shortages as the system recovers. So, where do things stand now, what caused the disruptions, and when can residents expect a full return to normality? To give us an update, we’re joined by Gugulethu Quma, Operations Manager at Johannesburg Water. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
