Episode Details

Water outages in Nelson Mandela Bay are turning into daily crises, with residents like a mother forced to cancel her daughter’s birthday party — not because of drought, but because broken infrastructure and a crippling shortage of skilled workers are leaving taps dry. Dams are full, but thousands of leaks waste water before it reaches homes. The DA has delivered a damning crisis plan, spotlighting massive vacancies in critical roles like engineers and plumbers — even with funding, no one’s available to fix the system. Months of outages, vague municipal responses, and stalled national support have left communities frustrated and property values in jeopardy. Now, the DA is demanding urgent national intervention to restore water reliability before it’s too late.
