Description
After months of power outages, parts of Johannesburg, South Africa's largest city, is now facing water shortages. In Tembisa, one of its most populous townships, residents are left scrambling to find water for basic needs. "The kids have to wash their hands, we have to flush the toilets," says resident Joyce Lelaka, who also runs a nursery. The crisis, with temperatures rising, is the result of daily restrictions imposed by the city to stop what they say is over-consumption and to allow for maintenance work.
