Amazing news, everyone! In less than 24 hours, we have reached 150 signatures.

Because of your support, I have spent this morning formally briefing the news desks at The Herald, Algoa FM, Umhlobo Wenene, Luister FM, Kingfisher FM, and MyPE.

Why this matters right now:
While our taps in Ward 6 (Sunridge, Fernglen, and beyond) are dry due to the failure at Elandsjagt, the Metro has confirmed they slashed our maintenance budget to fund R500,000 in new laptops. They tried to hide this discussion behind closed doors, but with 150 of us standing together, they can't hide anymore.

What you can do now:
Would you help me get more signatures by sharing this petition with ten other people on social media? Facebook groups, SMS chats, X, email and WhatsApp all work great. If more of us sign, we can’t be ignored!
 If we hit 200 signatures by lunchtime, the media pressure on the Mayor’s office will be impossible for them to ignore.

Let's get our maintenance budget back for our pipes, not their perks!

Thanks again for supporting this cause.
