ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17

South Africa is water scarce country and this reality is further compounded by the deterioration of water quality. The issue of water quantity and quality has a huge impact on the resource. Water of growth and development is of paramount importance as we want to maintain a flourishing including sustainable economic growth, social development plus the protection of the environment. As a country, we need to work very hard to ensure continued supply of water in all communities. 

This Master Plan is about re-engineering the manner in which the water and sanitation business in South Africa is coordinated and guided. Working with all water sector partners we want to see a high level actionable plan, role players, milestones and resources required towards achieving 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The genesis of this Master Plan would be a strong partnership with all stakeholders present here. It is about mobilising the entire water family to take the lead in their own spaces by selling this concept, collating relevant data on what needs to be done, and providing technical expertise into the task teams for strategic contributions.
