South Africa is fast approaching a water crisis of “disastrous” proportions‚ Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane said on Sunday‚ adding that the country was the 30th driest in the world. Speaking during a visit to Illovo in Kwazulu-Natal as part of his national Vision 2029 tour‚ Maimane charged that the crisis was not only a climate problem‚ but a problem of governance. “The burden of low rainfall is being exacerbated by poor maintenance‚ aging infrastructure and an intermittent energy supply‚” he stated‚ adding that South Africa had a constitution that guaranteed the right to water in the Bill of Rights but this right was being denied to millions of the country’s residents.
