Residents of Westbury and Coronationville in Johannesburg, are calling on government to urgently intervene in the water crisis in their area.for the past four years.
Authorities have advised motorists to avoid the area, as several roads have been barricaded with rocks and rubble.Resident Nathan Jones says, “I want the government to fix it. Look we are sitting years without water now, how long can we sit like this? If this was Soweto they would have burnt the place down long ago, but us they are putting us in the vans for burning tyres.”
Jones says, “The government needs to cooperate with us and tell us what they are going to do to rectify the situation. Last time they were here they told us they are going to put the water on and the water was on for two days then off again, so what was that, it’s just to make us feel nice, no man.
