Residents in the Sunnyridge had the opportunity to voice their concerns last weekend.<\/p>\n

The DA\u2019s parliamentary leader, Mmusi Maimane, DA shadow deputy minister for water and sanitation Leon Basson and constituency political head for constituency, into which Ward 92 – Sunnyridge – falls, Mike Waters, addressed a meeting at Sunnyridge Primary School.<\/p>

The meeting of course focused on the water supply crisis in Germiston.<\/p>\n

Maimane made note of the lack of a back-up plan from both Rand Water and the metro.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

He also voiced his concern that foreign investors would be put off South Africa if the water and electricity problems plaguing the country were not addressed and solved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho would want to invest in a country with no water and electricity?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

At the meeting, the DA asked those in attendance to sign a petition which would be delivered to the metro\u2019s offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will march and deliver the petition,\u201d said Maimane.<\/p>\n
