@k_johhny@JHBWater@JHBWater No water by Sonneglanns either. Is this related to the same issue that has been present for 4 days in Bromhof? There are no official notifications from you about this? Please update us.
@TAKEALOT what the actual f.... this is the kind of thing that irritates people 😠 why did you get me to WASTE my time replying to you on email. Respect your customers
👃 Pongy / sulphur smell
16 Jan 2026 - Cllr Devon Steenkamp
Across Gauteng, the smell is likely hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) pollution, possibly linked to Sasol’s Secunda plant, reaching Joburg due to current wind conditions.
@CocaCola_ZA@Nicole_Barlow1 how absolutely disgusting and despicable can a corporation be. I hope this goes to court. Oh by the way your products are disgusting!!
Gauteng’s water system is red-lining.
This week the three metros drew 3 589 megalitres/day (ML/d) - the 4th-highest week in the past 12 months and higher than last Oct/Nov peaks that led to outages.
This isn’t just about taps left running; it’s about municipal maintenance failure and soaring Non-Revenue Water (NRW) — water pumped but never billed because of leaks, bursts, illegal connections and broken metering.
Tshwane’s losses are growing; Joburg’s remain very high. With Rand Water’s reservoir storage around 40% (below the 60% safety level), the network has little recovery buffer.
What municipalities must do now (30-day emergency NRW plan):
• Leak-repair & night-time pressure management blitzes in worst zones
• Meter audits and rapid replacements to stop silent losses
• Clear repair SLAs for bursts/leaks and daily crews on rotation
• District metering & night-flow tracking to pinpoint losses
• Weekly public dashboards: leaks fixed, bursts, night-flow trends, NRW
Residents can help by reporting leaks - but the heavy lift sits with cities.
At 3 589 ML/d and around 40% storage, we are weeks, not months, from another round of outages unless municipalities act now.

Little taste of #ComicConAfrica tomorrow of what I could take during the media briefing. Many stands being put up, lots of space this time to handle big crowds. Very cool moving main stage. Artist Alley this year is the biggest one yet!
@PlayStation No no no Sony. You are sharing the USA tariff BS with the rest of the world??? The price here in my country had always been higher. There has never been no sharing! This is how you go from loved to hated 😡😡😡
