PRETORIA – Residents of Soshanguve said that the cutting of water supply to some areas of the City of Tshwane by Rand Water left them with no other choice but to fend for themselves.Soshanguve residents said that they would intensify protests and shut down the community, unless the City of Tshwane ensured that there was more than enough water to go around for everyone.
“Some households are saying that water is coming in in trickles, and other households, there’s no water, but united we stand. If we don’t get water, it gets worse, the whole of Soshanguve must shut down.”
As water levels slowly improved, the city pleaded with residents who do have a reliable supply of water to use it sparingly.
The city said that load shedding remained a challenge to its infrastructure.
