Rand Water Cuts

South Africans are searching for 'rand water' due to a recent water cut in Gauteng. Rand Water has cut the water supply to Lesedi Municipality over a R27m debt.

The municipality's failure to pay the debt has resulted in a 20% water cut, affecting residents in the area.

Background

The issue is not isolated to Lesedi Municipality, as other municipalities, such as Merafong, are also facing financial difficulties, diverting funds elsewhere.
