Show Notes
South Africas water systems are in crisis, with wastewater treatment facilities dropping from 22 to 14 since 2022, and nearly half now in critical condition. Drinking water is also at risk, with 18.4% of supply systems in high or critical risk, and 49% scoring high-risk for bacteria. This has led to rising waterborne illnesses and a call for national emergency status to address the issue.
