Protesting Coronationville residents claim nearby informal settlement has constant water supply but they have dry taps

JOHANNESBURG - Coronationville residents claim an informal settlement in the area has a constant water supply, while their taps remain dry.

A group of residents staged a protest on Monday. They were angry about the ongoing water crisis in the area.

Residents complained that they have not had any water for four weeks and that the water they get from tankers was undrinkable.

They also added that they have not had a reliable water supply for years now.

Resident Natalie Elias said: "Slovo Park, an informal settlement with 90% foreigners, has consistent running water, right? Us, as residents of the same ward, don't have water. So we have to resort to stuff like this, just to get attention, just to get a drop of water. But they have consistent water running."
