Morero outlined his vision while speaking at an inspection of reservoirs and towers in parts of the city. The mayor made appearances at the Hurst Hill and Crosby reservoirs for his inspection tour.

Morero called for a water revolution involving Jojo tanks being installed at each house to assist the city in conserving water for drinking and cooking, TimesLIVE reported.

The Johannesburg mayor's comments come as the metro has been battling water restrictions in some areas of the city.

According to News24, Johannesburg Water announced on Tuesday, 4 October, that Stage 2 water restrictions would be implemented in some areas of the city.

Residents in Sandton and Parktown have lamented the restrictions and questioned why they have been without water for hours and sometimes even days. One resident, Lance Ntuli, said the water cuts illustrated that the city had no plans to fix the dilapidated water infrastructure in the metro.

Though Morero's water revolution presents as a solution to the water cuts plaguing the city, South Africans believe the Jojo tank project will be used to create tenders for the mayor's lackeys.
