Westbury, Coronationville to monitor promised return of water supply, failing which, community may return to the streets

Calm has returned to Westbury and Coronationville after two days of violent protests over prolonged water shortages. Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero met angry residents at the Coronationville Recreation Centre, promising water supply will be restored within seven days. In the interim, 15 water tankers will be deployed daily. Morero pledged to return in a week to "open taps" and ensure uninterrupted flow. However, many Westbury residents remain sceptical about his assurances, citing years of failed promises. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Melissa Davids Westbury Community Leader
