Guests: Director-General of the National Department of Water and Sanitation, Sean Phillips & Executive Manager: WaterCAN- OUTA, Ferrial Adam.
In recent months many communities in Johannesburg have been affected by bouts of water shortages – sometimes for hours, sometimes for days. The threat to health, sanitation, and dignity can be immense, as we have seen in some of our public hospitals and schools.
The question on many lips is: ‘Is water shifting soon going to compete with load shedding?’ Is there a crisis in water supply and safety? Why? What is being done to address it? How can we mitigate it?
To answer these and other questions join Maverick Citizen editor, Mark Heywood, as he facilitates a conversation with Sean Phillips, the Director-General of the National Department of Water and Sanitation, and Ferrial Adam, the Executive manager at WaterCAN- OUTA.
