PRETORIA - The South African National Water Resources Infrastructure Agency Bill was signed into law in August 2024.
This paved the way for the establishment of the water infrastructure agency to enhance water infrastructure and quality.
The state-owned entity will solicit investments for new bulk water projects.
The water and sanitation portfolio committee says the agency should avoid repeating the failures of other state-owned-entities by putting in place mitigation procedures to ensure success and efficiency.
Director General at the Department of Water and Sanitation, Dr Sean Phillips discussed this with eNCA.
