    Small story: I moved to the Netherlands a few years ago.One month, I bought a above ground swimming pool, I set it up and filled it up with 40k liters. The next day, I received a letter in the post (Yes the postal service here is excellent), requesting for me to confirm why there was sudden jump in the water usage and for me to send a photograph of my meter. The water company was concerned that there was a leak, incorrect meter reading from their side, or some other problem. That is the difference between a 1st world country and africa

    Similar challenges are being faced by residents in Pinetown, KZN. My mother, a pensioner, living alone, is dealing with water shortages during the day, availability only between 22h00 & 06h00, and an exorbitant water bill of R80k for the month of Feb. This comes right after addressing a substantial R60k electricity bill, that led her to switch to prepaid electricity in Oct last year.

    I had a R52K bill from COJ shortly after a repair in my neighbourhood. They claimed I had used 1 million litres of water. Unfortunately, there is no one you can speak to at the Randburg office. Their technical person I requested to speak to was the security lady at the entrance. I informed them of the air in the pipes and they laughed me off. So, if anyone from COJ is watching this, please inform me where I go to get compensated for my R52k. It's time to get rid of the incompetent COJ and Johannesburg/Rand water employees.

      Even if they are out-voted at the polls, the ANC will rig the result - just like Biden did to Trump.

      Why IEC? They’re the sole organisation ensuring our elections are fair. Yes it’s hard to believe ANC still wins but they do due to a large portion of our population being uneducated and not knowing any better

    Funny that Lenasia South was not included in this video. The area has been experiencing water shedding twice a day, daily for 7 years straight. Our bill was -R300, then R9000 the following month, R112000 by the end of that year, R230000 by the end of the following year. Municipality said we have to pay it, was around 2013. I'm sure it's way past a million now. We stopped bothering with it. Can't win

      Maybe more people from that area need to contact Carte Blach . The more complaints the bigger reason they have to go and investigate.

      @dorothyzijlstra5626 There was an article done by Daily Maverick in 2022 in which they mention the new reservoir built. Initially the issue was deemed as capacity related and a new reservoir was built. The new reservoir has been standing empty since completion a few years ago, yet JW used its completion for so much positive publicity. They even had a major launch event with JHB Mayor and other dignitaries in attendance. All of that for nothing though. The community has had to adjust their lives around the water shedding and its now basically a part of life.

      That is just heartbreaking, these people know exactly how to “ start a project for public displays “
      I saw on one of these videos it’s taken almost 10 years to finish the waterline with I think Lesotho , that’s just their ways of pocketing money .
      Here In Vereeniging when Covid hit ‘ somebody got a tender to build a covid hospital separately from the other hospital 🏥.
      It skeleton is standing there in the weeds and grass , who got that money ..?
      It’s really time they change these tender contracts to how it is supposed to be done.

    I have been investing the above for years, but in botswana.
    Airlock has been an issue around the world for many years.
    Air billing needs air eliminators before ever meter.
    The water service provider always denies air billing, always, its their mandate. Its hard to get video or digital evidence of air billing unless there is a long interruption in water service to allow for air buildup. However air still passes the meter regardless but in smaller quanities as it is shared along the line of meters in the cuirt
