Petition updateUrgent Complaint of Systemic Water Service Failure, by Govan Mbeki Municipality
Latest Update - Feedback from Organizations
Johann GouwsSecunda, South Africa
Jul 30, 2026
Although the water supply has now been restored - in most areas, after almost two weeks - this travesty will recur again and again, as it always does in this derelict quagmire of a "town."
Beyond the media coverage here:
The feedback I received from various organisations was as follows:
i. AfriForum: Aware of the issue in GMM (and other municipalities) and actively pursuing avenues to prevent a recurrence.
ii. COGTA: No response.
iii. OUTA: Advised me to escalate the matter to the GMM municipality - rather pointless.
iv. SAHRC: Advised me to escalate the matter to the GMM municipality - rather pointless.
v. Solidarity: No response, as yet.
