CITIES ARE DRYING UP. PEOPLE ARE DYING. And after WEEKS of chaos, the President is FINALLY making a move.
Cyril Ramaphosa announced he is taking PERSONAL charge of a new national water crisis committee. This comes after parts of Johannesburg went WITHOUT WATER for nearly a month, sparking furious protests. Photos from the ground show residents desperate and enraged, holding empty buckets in streets running dry.
But this is the SHOCKING TRUTH: This is the FOURTH major government intervention since 2023. A previous task force led by the Deputy President FAILED. Now, Ramaphosa is taking over, a clear sign the situation is SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL.
Opposition leaders are calling it a sham. DA leader John Steenhuisen blasted the ANC, stating the crisis “will not recover unless voters choose a new government.” Freedom Front Plus leader Corné Mulder laid the blame squarely on “poor ANC governance,” noting the President only steps in “when things are completely out of hand and about to collapse.”
Even within his own party, the admission is damning. ANC heavyweight Nomvula Mokonyane admitted the crisis is due to years of local governments FAILING to do basic maintenance. The system is BROKEN.
In a parallel crisis, Ramaphosa is deploying the ARMY to the gang-ravaged Cape Flats. While some, like PA leader Gayton McKenzie, cried “tears of joy,” others see a desperate, political stunt. Community activist Fadiel Adams called it a repeat of failed past promises, accusing the government of offering “more guns, more police” instead of real social change during an election year. EFF leader Julius Malema said the army deployment is a silent admission that the police have “dismally failed.”
Promises fly every year. Photos from the red carpet show politicians in their finery. But on the streets, the taps are still empty and the bullets are still flying. The same people who broke the system are now promising to fix it.
They let it burn for decades, and now they want you to thank them for bringing a glass of water.
