The organisers of today’s Vitality Run Series- Race against cancer failed us. We had to run without water , most of the stations had no water. We had to buy water.😢 @Vitality_SA#VitalityRunSeries#Raceagainstcancer

The ongoing water supply issues affecting parts of Northgate, Boskruin, Bromhof and Randpark Ridge have now been escalated to the highest levels within Joburg Water, including senior management, by Cllr Bittkau and myself.
At present, there appear to be three separate issues impacting water supply in the area:
🔹 A major burst water pipe on Blandford Road, reportedly caused by a City Power contractor.
🔹 A complete loss of water supply affecting parts of Northgate, which residents have been experiencing since approximately 11h00 on 08 June 2026.
🔹 Ongoing intermittent water supply issues affecting Bromhof, Boskruin and Randpark Ridge over the past two months, which have deteriorated into a complete loss of supply in some areas since 07 June 2026.
We are awaiting urgent feedback from Joburg Water regarding the status of repairs, the root causes of the outages, and the expected timelines for restoration.
Further updates will be shared as soon as additional information becomes available.
