Johannesburg residents protested over council billing complaints outside the city’s customer service centre in Braamfontein on Friday.
The seeds of the crisis in Jo’burg’s billing system were sown five years ago when a R208m tender was awarded to an inexperienced company.
The response of mayors to billing problems and to the floods would influence their nomination as ANC candidates in the upcoming local elections.
The City of Johannesburg on Monday said it had learned "valuable lessons" from the current billing problem, and asked for patience.
Johannesburg’s billing problem, which mayor Amos Masondo recently said was not a sign of a crisis, will be investigated, the government says.
The dissolution of the ANC regional executive committee in Johannesburg was necessary because it was "descending into total madness", the party said.
