1. So, I come from communities where the mosques, methodist and Catholic churches are on same property divided by simple fences (Bosmont). We prayed, laughed and cried in all depending on whether itโs a wedding, baptism or funeral.This campaign to divide South Africans will fail

Why must rate paying residents come on here day after day and beg for updates on water outages in North Riding @JHBWater ? It is shameful to just ignore the cries of people like they dont exist @DadaMorero @Lesufi

The comments made by Deputy President Paul Mashatile during Monday's briefing in Bronkhorstspruit warrant particular attention.
Mashatile said:
"We are quite CONCERNED ABOUT PRIVATE SUPPLIERS OF WATER WITH WATER TANKERS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GET THAT WATER FROM. So there will be an intervention to check those but the city is supplying water in the meantime so there's nobody will go without water whilst this plant is being attended to."
Given the national government's concerns, has the City engaged with them to provide assurances regarding the safety of water provided to residents through these private suppliers? Is this again a result of siloed communication?
The City recently announced a temporary suspension of water tanker operations from the Cullinan hydrant, effective immediately, following the results of routine water quality monitoring conducted yesterday.
