Video footage shows a water duct where clean water is pumped from Gautrain tunnels into the polluted Zandspruit in Sandton.


The Citizen’s Multimedia Editor Michel Bega took a trip to Zandspuit in Sandton to photograph a water tunnel where clean water is running into the polluted Zandspruit River.

This comes after Gautrain services between Park Station and Rosebank were suspended due to the illegal drilling of a borehole.

Experts are seeking a solution to prevent this wastage of water considering the water crisis that South Africa is experiencing.
