This research focused on evaluating and comparing the perceptions, water-use
behaviour, water conservation awareness and overall water stewardship of participants
residing in Hammanskraal and Atteridgeville who have experienced intermittent water
supply in their domestic households – due to either water contamination incidents caused
by dilapidated infrastructure or water restrictions implemented by the City of Tshwane
Metropolitan Municipality during the 2016–2017 drought in the Gauteng Province. The
research concluded that the municipality needs to implement proactive water
conservation awareness initiatives on an ongoing basis to reduce high water demands
and to create a culture of water stewardship, especially in Atteridgeville. Transparent
communication is also required from the municipality to instil the necessary trust among
the public. It is recommended that the municipality attends to water leaks and ongoing
complaints from the public timeously to reduce the current apathy from the public against
reporting water-related issues and to ultimately ensure compliance to water restrictions. / Hierdie navorsing fokus op die evaluering en vergelyking van deelnemers wat in

waterbeperkings wat deur die Stad Tshwane Metropolitaanse Munisipaliteit gedurende
die 2016 tot 2017-droogte in Gauteng ingestel is. Die navorsing het tot die gevolgtrekking
gekom dat die munisipaliteit proaktiewe waterbewaringsbewustheidsinisiatiewe op ’n
deurlopende grondslag moet implementeer om hoë wateraanvraag te verminder en ’n
kultuur van waterrentmeesterskap, veral in Atteridgeville,
te skep. Deursigtige
kommunikasie word ook van die munisipaliteit vereis om die nodige vertroue by die
publiek te kweek. Daar word aanbeveel dat die munisipaliteit betyds aandag aan
waterlekkasies en deurlopende klagtes van die publiek sal gee om die huidige
onverskilligheid van die publiek by die aanmeld van waterverwante aangeleenthede te
verminder en om uiteindelik te verseker dat die publiek die waterbeperkings eerbiedig. / Patlisiso ena e ne e tsepame hodima ho lekola le ho bapisa maikutlo, boitshwaro ba
