South Africa: Minister Must Appoint Task Team to Address Water Infrastructure Backlog

press release

I will today write to Water and Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa requesting her to set up an intergovernmental task team to address the increasing water shortages being experienced in a number of provinces due to a lack of proper infrastructure maintenance.

Reports reveal that not only are Mafikeng and Nelspruit experiencing water shortages due to dilapidated water infrastructure, but the crisis will soon spread to Bloemfontein and other municipalities if it is not attended to.
