South Africa’s water crisis is not coming someday. It is here now. That is why I argued in committee that the Department of Water and Sanitation must be supported with more resources, not less. We cannot push infrastructure funding into future years while communities face outages now. We need urgency, transparency and action.

🚨 Missing the target UN SDG 6 calls for water and sanitation for all by 2030. South Africa is far off course unless drastic change happens now. #RealLeadership #Accountability #WaterJusticeNow
