On Sunday morning (October 30) I reported a leak in Western Extension, which was escalated by our councillor, Sinethemba Matiwane.

At 8pm that evening, I took a drive around the neighbourhood to see if there were any traumatised dogs running in the streets due to the awful big-bang fireworks.
I found our councillor standing at the water leak, very busy on his phone.
I stopped and said: “Themba, leave it for tonight, go home, they will come tomorrow morning,” to which he replied: “No, this is fresh drinking water, they have to come tonight.”
The Ekurhuleni team arrived and had to dig quite far to reach the problem, which was sorted at almost 2am; and the councillor went home.
A few weeks ago, he had a massive leak fixed near the Dunswart Bridge, which people had been complaining about for a year.
My deep gratitude for his hard work, dedication and respect for this precious resource.
