Pretoria and East Rand taps run dry after criminals vandalise power

Large parts of the Tshwane and Ekurhuleni metropolitan municipalities have been left without water after criminals vandalised electrical infrastructure supplying a Rand Water pumping station. Several other power failures over the weekend compounded the problem.

The Mapleton Booster Station suffered a power supply failure around 17:00 on Friday, 14 April 2023.

No water, no electricity. I tell my kids it's like camping. They're not that into it.

Must be nice... here they run dry due to incompetence.

Sabotage not vandalism.

Tannie may just teach me a few, I'm concerned for my well-being

We're going to need a "The end is nigh in Pretoria" thread as well at this rate.

Sabotage not vandalism.

You mean theft, not sabotage, just like the pylons.

Could be sabotage, those tenders don't get awarded by themselves. Eskom case in point.

Not yet in Erasmuskloof which is a travesty as we're considerably more leafier that the plebs over yonder demmas road..

But before you challenge me to pistols at dawn, note the total lacks of ANC leadahs condemning such blatant sagotage, its almost like one of their distant relatives needed a water truck tender or something..
