Special Investigating Unit’s anti-corruption forum to tackle South Africa’s water sector scandals.
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU)’s new water sector anti-corruption forum is a critical intervention to confront entrenched corruption across South Africa’s water value chain.
So said Ferrial Adam, the executive director of WaterCAN, a civil society organisation on water rights which has welcomed the establishment of the forum earlier this month.
“But let’s be clear. This forum must deliver,” she said. “South Africa’s water crisis is not about a lack of resources; it’s about corruption. Billions have been looted — R4 billion on the Giyani project alone — and still people in that region have no water. This is a national disgrace.”
