Round Table Session 3 is underway, and our well-learned panel of experts are discussing “Collaborative Strategies for a Water-Secure Future.” This session includes representatives from UNISA, the Department of Water and Sanitation, and Johannesburg Water. #UnisaWaterImbizo #Unisa150andBeyond

Insightful discussions at Round Table Session 2 as experts engaged in a conversation on “Water Supply & Infrastructure.” The panel included representatives from Unisa, Johannesburg Water, Leadership in Water Innovation (LWI), and the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. #UnisaWaterImbizo #Unisa150andBeyond

Today I delivered a keynote address at the University of South Africa Water Imbizo, highlighting the urgent need for collective action as South Africa faces a critical moment in its water and sanitation sector. The Imbizo is more than just another event on the calendar. It is a necessary national intervention and a platform for honest engagement, practical solutions and decisive action to address the challenges confronting the water sector. As we mark National Water Week, it must be clear that water security cannot be the responsibility of government alone. It requires the collective commitment of all stakeholders including government, business, academia and communities. Addressing the country’s water challenges is a shared national responsibility that calls for unity, collaboration and decisive action. In closing, emphasis was placed on the importance of stronger partnerships across government, academia and the water sector. Evidence based solutions must guide our actions to ensure that no one is left behind as we work towards a water secure South Africa.
