In the Johannesburg suburb of Greenside, a large group of protesters of all ages and backgrounds are waving placards and banging empty plastic bottles together.
"We want water, we want water!" they chant.
Northern Johannesburg is known for its plush leafy suburbs. But after years of intermittent water shortages, residents say they are fed up. Some have had no running water for over a month.
"Our pipes have been bone dry with no water coming through at all," says Colin Regesky, who lives in Green Hill. "It's not very healthy because everyone can get sick with no running water. And also according to the constitution it's our right to have water."
Another protester, Jenny Gillies, has lived in Melville for 40 years. "I am here today because it is an actual disgrace," she says. "We are reduced to begging and protesting for water."
