The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is deeply concerned that the residents of Emfuleni Local Municipality are currently experiencing water shortages. The Emfuleni Local Municipality has issued a public announcement stating that they are aware of the water shortages currently affecting large parts of Emfuleni due to additional water supply reductions imposed on the municipality by Rand Water as a credit control measure since 25 February 2021.
The DA says Emfuleni residents are supposed to adhere to the health protocol of regularly washing hands due to Covid-19 yet are experiencing water shortages.
Executive mayor Geoff Makhubo announced on Tuesday that Ndivhoniswani Lukhwareni had agreed to a mutual termination of employment, effective from 28 February.
