The country has been struggling with a water crisis – many provinces and metros have been embroiled in water shortages over the years, including the Western and Eastern Capes.

South Africa is a few years away from having to implement “water-shedding” – where water will only be available sporadically – says Lunga Patso, a process engineer from the Water Institute of South Africa .

Du Plessis said that the situation is similar to how Eskom was managed, which ultimately led to load shedding. South Africa is a water-scarce country, and having working and well-maintained infrastructure is essential to ensure that the small amount of rain that does fall is preserved, she said.– finance minister Enoch Godongwana said that significant progress has been achieved in the water sector.

Draft legislation for the National Water Resource Infrastructure Agency has been finalised and will be published for public consultation shortly, the minister said. “This will enable much greater investment in our bulk water resources.”
