Water Wheel Nov/Dec 2020: Municipal Service Delivery

Abstract

Chief Executive of the WRC, Dhesigen Naidoo said of the ambitious forum: “The local government water and technology innovation forum…is a critical intervention. This partnership-led forum seeks to set up and expand a network of test beds for ground breaking water and sanitation technologies emanating from South African laboratories.” Naidoo added that the endpoint of the forum would ensure that South African citizens receive improved water supply and sanitation. “We want South African districts, villages and towns to be among the leaders in sustainable water and sanitation solutions in the world. We want our citizens to be the beneficiaries of the best water supply, the best water treatment and state of the art sanitation,” he said. Department of Water and Sanitation ministerial advisory committee chairperson Jurgen Kogl, who addressed the virtual launch on behalf of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu, proposed that the forum should provide regular feedback on progress review reports.
