Service delivery frustration boils over in Orlando West as special votes get underway without water - EWN

Some communities in Soweto are heading to the polls with ongoing water shortages, with residents having to contend with dry taps on voting day.

EWN visited Orlando West on Monday, where residents eligible for special voting are facing the added challenge of a lack of water.

Residents have criticised the City of Johannesburg, accusing it of failing to ensure a reliable water supply to households.

Special voting got underway and will continue on Tuesday, while the rest of the electorate is expected to cast their ballots on Wednesday.
