File photo.Minister of water and sanitation Senzo Mchunu hit back at the EFF’s criticism and rejection of his more than R110bn budget for the 2022/2023 financial year on Friday.

The EFF’s Mathibe Mohlala, however, rejected the budget and pointed to the national water and sanitation master plan showing that more than 5.3-million households do not have access to clean water services, saying a water crisis was looming. Unfortunately, minister, your ANC government has dropped the ball and is not living up to the slogan that 'water is life and sanitation is dignity'. South Africans continue to suffer without water, not because of drought but because of corruption and mismanagement by this ANC government“The department is fiddling while the country is on the precipice of a water disaster.

“It is regrettable that they reject the budget, yet point at challenges of water which require [a] budget. We are, however, wide awake to everything that everybody is complaining about — corruption, inefficiency — we agree that these must go.”
