Rand Water CEO has to go

Advertorial:
Rand Water CEO has to go:

Dear Editor

Today, concerned citizens, DA representatives, and community leaders united to march and deliver a memorandum of demands to the Minister of Water and Sanitation, Senzo Mchunu. The memorandum emphasises the urgent need for immediate action to address water supply challenges in Gauteng.

Under the current government, systemic failures persist, leading South Africans to adapt to living without electricity and, due to their shortcomings, now facing the prospect of living without water.

Following our march, we reiterate our demand for change, emphasising the need for adequate and uninterrupted access to clean water. Our demands include establishing a Commission of Enquiry to investigate systematic failings at Rand Water, the immediate dismissal of the CEO, and swift measures to rectify ongoing issues.

We stand firm in advocating for accountability and transparency, insisting that those responsible for the unacceptable conditions faced by residents are held accountable. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right, and persistent failures in providing this basic necessity are intolerable.

We will continue to stand with the citizens of Gauteng, championing our cause and advocating for the accountability Rand Water’s executive has evaded for too long.

Regards

Solly Msimanga MPL
DA Gauteng Premier Candidate

The Rand Club: The Inner Sanctum of the Randlords

Founded in 1887, just months after the discovery of gold, the Rand Club is the oldest private members’ club in Johannesburg. The current building, completed in 1904, is the third iteration of the club on the same site, designed by the iconic architectural firm Leck & Emley in a Neo-Baroque style that was intended to rival the gentlemen’s clubs of London’s Pall Mall. For over a century, this was the “room where it happened.” It was here that Cecil John Rhodes, Barney Barnato, and Ernest Oppenheimer sipped whiskey and drafted the plans for the mining conglomerates that still dominate the global economy today.
