CLAREMONT - Residents of Claremont in Johannesburg, are battling a long standing water crisis despite repeated promises from city officials.
On Human Rights Day, the DA highlighted this issue, blaming government and the current ANC/EFF/PA coalition for the failing infrastructure that leads to dry taps.
However, some residents accuse the DA of neglecting service delivery in the area.

The Patriotic Alliance argues that the crisis predates the current government and cannot be blamed solely on the coalition.
With a by-election looming, the crisis has become a key political battleground.
Meanwhile, residents say they have lost all hope in politicians who repeatedly fail to deliver.
As the rest of the country celebrated Human Rights Day, Claremont residents are left questioning whether, their basic rights to water, electricity, and dignity truly matter to those in power.
