[WATER UPDATE] Conflicting reports about Krugersdorp’s water crisis
Numerous suburbs have been without water for three days.

Sonja Mc Pherson posted on the Krugersdorp Community Forum page that she contacted Rand Water herself. They confirmed that there was no cable theft causing the pumping stations and ultimately the reservoirs in Krugersdorp to run dry. She also said they reiterated that the problem is not from their side.
