JOHANNESBURG - The frustration of not having water for days on end is forcing some Johannesburg residents into corners they did not think they would ever be in: Strike action to air their grievances.
One of those regions that's been hung out to dry is the east of Johannesburg, where several suburbs continue to struggle with their water supply.
Even though fewer than 20 people showed up for this protest on day 11 without water, those numbers could grow as residents’ frustrations mount.

Johannesburg Water says the Alexander Park Reservoir, which supplies the east of Johannesburg, is currently empty due to demand exceeding supply.
The utility says it is working to improve supply and boost flow into the reservoir.
