Since November last year, the Coalition Against Water Privatisation (CAWP) has heard complaints from residents of Kliptown that the City has been sending many people statements saying they should pay for services to avoid cut-offs or face legal action. These are the very same people who do not have running water or taps in their yards but make use of communal taps and at the same time use paraffin to cook. All 7 people who came to report this matter to the CAWP said that they owe the City R194. Is this a flat rate or a coincidence based on estimations? The Coalition Against Water Privatisation is calling on the City of Johannesburg to get its house in order. People cannot be expected to pay for services they do not receive. During his visit to Kliptown last year, Johannesburg mayor, Amos Masondo, outlined developmental plans that were to be carried out in the area. If Kliptown's residents should pay for services yet to be delivered, the City is taking prepayment to a level of fantasy. Access to clean running water and sanitation in the area is a developmental priority – not yet a reality. |
