Under ANC-led coalition with ActionSA, Tshwane water tanker spending exploded by 455% to R777m, while water losses rose to 40%. Residents get tankers instead of taps. These are clear signs of mafia capture and self-inflicted crisis. This money could’ve easily been used to improve water infrastructure in the CoT.

News24 exposé: In the financial year that the ANC-EFF-ActionSA coalition took over Tshwane, spending on water tankers to formalised areas surged by 455% to R777 million. A jackpot for the water tanker mafia and money that could have been spent on pipe replacements, infrastructure upgrades, and providing Hammanskraal residents with clean water in their taps.

💧In the past year alone, Tshwane lost 39% of its water with almost 10,000 leaks unattended. Instead of fixing the leaks, the ANC-led coalition has increased spending on water tankers and security contracts that benefit their patronage network. The DA will redirect money from corruption and waste to repair infrastructure and restore water to residents.

There is a Rand Water maintenance shut down in Soshanguve. Where are all the City of Tshwane water tankers? The ANC coalition took money away from water and electricity teams to hire more tanker contractors. Where are they?

Was I pushed out for taking on Tshwane’s water tanker mafia? The DA worked to give Hammanskraal real water from taps, not trucks. The ANC chose the tanker cartels instead, blowing R777 million a 455% increase on water that costs residents more and delivers less. My administration fought to end Tshwane’s reliance on water tankers and deliver clean tap water to communities. When you challenge the tanker mafia, you threaten those who profit from residents’ suffering.

Tshwane-owned water tankers are on the road providing water to residents. We recently announced that we are abandoning contracted services for water tankers. From 1 April, City staff have been working to provide water to residents in need. We visited Hammanskraal hydrant collection points this morning along with Ward Councillors and MMC for Utility Services Cllr Frans Boshielo. While work is underway to stabilise water supply through infrastructure maintenance and repairs, residents must continue to receive adequate water supply. All these efforts form part our Water Stabilisation Plan that’s backed by funding from the City’s budget. City of Tshwane

Alaska in Mamelodi went over a week without water - while tankers made money off a simple closed valve. 💧 The ANC-led coalition was quick to send costly tankers, but slow to open the valve. The DA pushed until water was restored - proving again how the tanker mafia thrives on government failure.

Our goal is to reduce reliance on water tankers. We have purchased 15 city owned water tankers for emergency circumstances where residents may be in need . We are also determined to increase spending on infrastructure to reduce reliance on private entities to deliver water to residents in emergency situations. City of Tshwane

The state of water infrastructure in South Africa is poor. We have gone years without investing in maintenance or construction. What we are witnessing currently is evidence of years of neglect. In Tshwane, we have been criticised for using water tankers to ensure continued service delivery of water to residents in times of crisis. However, this positioning of blame neglects the context of what we’ve inherited and are now trying to fix -aging infrastructure.

A Hammanskraal resident says it all: new water trucks are being added - not phased out. The ANC-led coalition has no plan to deliver clean, running water. Instead, they’re entrenching a system that profits from residents’ suffering, while the water tanker mafia grows richer and the ANC’s patronage network benefits. During my tenure, we had a clear plan to deliver water to Hammanskraal - and we were on track to make it happen. Hammanskraal deserves better. 💧

Today, I led an oversight visit to the assembly plant of one of the water tanker suppliers. What we saw? Top-tier quality, rigorous standards, and tankers built to deliver reliable water to our communities. Claims that we are not committed to building internal capacity and reduce reliance on contracted water Tankers are ridiculous and baseless. City of Tshwane Dr Nasiphi Moya

The DA has obtained an internal document which reveals that the ANC-led Tshwane adjustment budget, to be tabled this Thursday in Council, is unfunded, with a R5.3 billion deficit, collapsing revenue collection and escalating water tanker overspending while key infrastructure projects are being defunded. A DA government will focus on stabilising the city’s finances and prioritise infrastructure investment to ensure water in taps and electricity in homes. 🗳️ Register to vote for a DA government: 💙 #BackBrink

We have a problem with water tanker mafias in the city. When we took a decision to reduce our use of water tankers these mafias, with riffles, attempted to prevent access to hydrants. The City is in the process of procuring its own water takers for emergency supply. We are appearing before CoGTA joint Parliamentary committee this afternoon. City of Tshwane

“Dumping water in the streets instead of giving it to people — this is what some water distribution trucks in Gaza are doing,” says journalist Hatem Rawagh, filming a water truck with its taps open. These are the same organizations reporting water and food “shortages.”
