# Civil rights group WaterCAN will protest outside the Johannesburg Council Chambers today, demanding urgent, transparent, and accountable action on the city’s worsening water crisis. The group says the situation has become a human rights and economic emergency, crippling hospitals, schools, and small businesses. WaterCAN calls for ringfenced funding, restored budgets, transparent infrastructure repairs, and independent oversight, warning that Johannesburg’s leadership is violating residents’ constitutional right to clean, reliable water.
