Mike Muller from Wits School of Governance said it’s the job of municipalities to regulate and provide water supply.
“They can enforce measures including restricting their water supply,” he said.
“Our problem is not that the municipalities don’t have the powers, they’re not using them. That’s why were running into trouble at this moment.”
