DA wants Joburg Water board dissolved
“Enough is enough,” said the Democratic Alliance (DA) as it handed over two memoranda of demands to the City of Johannesburg, calling for the dissolution of the board of Johannesburg Water.
The DA led a protest outside the Joburg Municipal Council on Wednesday, on behalf of residents struggling under unreliable water supply in the city.
The DA’s memoranda were handed to the mayor and the speaker of the Johannesburg Council, urging assurance that the dissolution process is properly implemented.
DA Johannesburg caucus leader Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku accused the coalition between the African National Congress, ActionSA, the Economic Freedom Fighters and the Patriotic Alliance of cadre deployment and misgovernance, which affected basic service delivery.
"Residents have the right to services, and the right to transparency when services are at risk.
"Hundreds of thousands of people face water outages daily in Johannesburg. The alternative from the DA is now unavoidable: dissolve the board of Johannesburg Water, reconstitute it with those who have the necessary technical expertise to fix the mess created by cadres – and stop our taps running dry,” she said.
Kayser-Echeozonjoku went so far as to warn of a “full-blown humanitarian crisis” if there was no intervention.
