CALL FOR INPUTS ON FOCUSED INTERVENTION STUDY ON WATER CHALLENGES IN ETHEKWINI MUNICIPALITY

The human rights to water require that drinking water is always available, accessible, safe and acceptable for all. In the eThekwini Municipality, there has been widespread concerns and grievances expressed by residents regarding the ongoing water crisis. This has prompted the KZN Legislature’s portfolio committee on Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) to undertake a focused intervention study on the municipality’s water supply.

This consultative session is a significant step toward addressing potential corruption and mismanagement. We strongly believe that compiling a comprehensive report incorporating representations from various stakeholders will be beneficial to ensure a unified and informed approach toward resolving the crisis.

Members of the public are therefore invited to make their detailed inputs to the study no later than the 2nd of April 2025. Inputs should be emailed to: mthembuv@kznleg.gov.za. For more information please do not hesitate to contact Mr Vusi Mthembu on 033 355 7050
