While the country is trying to save water, MTN digging for fibre cabling goes and bursts a water pipe. Water been wasted for hours now already.

That's not cool, have you alerted the municipality?

Not special to MTN, when they dug in our road for a Neotel fibre they managed to break the water pipes twice.

The water pipes are so old that you just need to look at them funny and they rupture out of embarrassment.

Parkmore. JHB water has been notified.

The joys of ignoring wayleaves...

What a bunch of idiots.......

Happens all over and every time I have seen guys laying fibre.
Massive wastage.
But just typical of our government.
If they actually cared they would hold these companies responsible.

The companies pay for the repairs... not the water lost.

They should pay for all of it... and a penalty.

Water is more important than fibre?

They should pay for all of it... and a penalty.

Could that actually be calculated, with our municipality?

Just out of interest how do you know it is MTN and not like Vodacom/DFA/Telkom?

I chatted to the guys working on site they confirmed it is MTN. The residents also received letters from MTN informing them of the construction.

MTN's looking for moral fibre in all the wrong places...
