Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Ferrial Adam, Executive Director of WaterCAN, about Gauteng’s worsening water crisis. A new report by the South African Human Rights Commission finds that the problem is not simply a shortage of water, but failing infrastructure, leaking pipes, poor maintenance, electricity interruptions and weaknesses in municipal management. The report also warns that communities are increasingly relying on water tankers, which cannot become a permanent substitute for properly functioning water infrastructure. Across Johannesburg, some residents have already gone weeks without water. So, where are the biggest failures, who must be held accountable, and what needs to happen to fix the crisis?
