This marks their second protest, following an earlier demonstration on October 17 for the same cause.
De Fortier said the prolonged outage has made everyday tasks such as bathing, cooking and washing dishes impossible, adding that it also poses a health risk.
The Randfontein Herald has approached the Rand West City Local Municipality for comment. An update will be provided once a response is received.
