Episode Details

Nelson Mandela Bay is in a water crisis — not because there’s no water, but because treatment plants are overwhelmed, reservoirs are running dry, and residents are facing constant outages. With major events looming, the metro’s infrastructure is crumbling: thousands of leaks unrepaired, chemical shortages, and a broken procurement system that can’t even hire plumbers. Floods left sediment clogging treatment facilities, power outages crippled operations, and unpaid bills cut off leak reporting lines. Residents are furious, forced to buy water or rely on unreliable tankers, while officials offer vague explanations. Vulnerable communities and local businesses are bearing the brunt — and people are demanding real, immediate solutions.
