State of deteriorating water infrastructure

Guest: Tshepo Mahlangu | President of LASCA/ Guest: Dr Ferrial Adam | Executive Manager: WaterCAN – OUTA  Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse initiative WaterCAN and AfriForum are raising their concerns over the latest results from the Department of Water and Sanitation’s (DWS’s) full Blue and No Drop reports, as well as the Green Drop Progress report, which shows the deteriorating state of South Africa’s drinking and wastewater operations. The Blue and No Drop reports indicate that there has been a decline in drinking water quality and an increase in nonrevenue water since the last reports were issued in 2014.
