Residents across Gauteng are being urged to prepare for possible prolonged water outages as Rand Water and Eskom begin a major maintenance programme expected to continue between May and July 2026. Concerns are growing that scheduled interruptions could leave some communities without water for several days longer than officially planned.
Thousands of residents across Ekurhuleni could experience low water pressure or complete water interruptions between 29 May and 17 July 2026 as Rand Water begins major infrastructure maintenance across Gauteng. The City of Ekurhuleni has warned that several suburbs, townships and industrial areas may be affected during different maintenance phases linked to pump stations, reservoirs, and bulk water systems.
Eskom has warned that parts of Johannesburg could face power cuts after the utility announced plans to reduce, interrupt, or terminate power supply to certain bulk points serving the City of Johannesburg and City Power over unpaid debt exceeding R5.2 billion.
Sharpeville is reshaping its identity in colour. A township long defined by the painful memory of the 1960 massacre is now stepping into a new era of pride, creativity, and self-determination. The newly completed Sharpeville Reservoir Mural has emerged as a landmark piece of public art that signals renewal. It reflects a community rewriting its narrative during a year that placed global attention on Gauteng through the G20.
