Stronger water regulation needed to tackle climate and infrastructure pressures.
Water and Sanitation Deputy Minister David Mahlobo has called for stronger and more responsive regulation across Africa, warning that mounting environmental and economic pressures are straining the continent’s water systems.
Mahlobo was speaking at the 4th Africa Water Supply and Sanitation Regulators’ Conference currently underway at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
Delivering the opening address on Tuesday, Mahlobo warned that climate change, population growth and ageing infrastructure are placing increasing strain on the continent’s water systems.
