Show Notes
KwaZulu-Natals water crisis: Despite full dams, many districts lack basic piped water access, with non-revenue water losses averaging fifty-four percent. Officials aim for universal access by 2030, but skills and infrastructure shortfalls hinder progress. Municipalities like uMgungundlovu, Amajuba, and others lag far behind. Non-revenue water losses top eighty-eight percent in Zululand and nearly sixty percent in eThekwini. Premier Ntuli expresses concern over sixteen percent of people without water, with uMkhanyakude and uMzinyathi at forty-one percent and thirty-five percent, respectively. He criticizes losses and advocates for insourcing tankers to avoid corruption costs. Fast funding and plans are needed to prevent a full-blown disaster.
