Déjà vu for frustrated Joburg residents as taps run dry months after Mchunu's urgent intervention

It’s déjà vu for Johannesburg residents who suffered through severe water outages in October last year, which forced the national government to step in.

The entity said its water levels started dropping from 9 January.
