Where to collect water during 4-day water outage
AfriForum has stepped in to assist residents during the planned water outage in Pretoria.
Planned maintenance work at the Tshwane Metro's Mapleton and Palmiet Booster Pumping Stations is well underway and has already affected many residents.
Rand Water has warned that the scheduled maintenance, taking place from May 29 to June 2, 2025, will affect residents' water supply.
