Government reiterates commitment to water security

The Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation, David Mahlobo, has reaffirmed government’s commitment to ensuring water security for all South Africans through innovative partnerships and transformative solutions.

“Water is the lifeblood of our nation’s development. By combining government’s resources with the innovation and expertise of the private sector, particularly through organisations like the Black Business Council in the Built Environment (BBCBE) that champion transformation, we can overcome our water challenges and build a resilient future for all South Africans,” the Deputy Minister said on Friday.

He was addressing the BBCBE Built Environment Indaba at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, which was taking place under theme: “Built Environment Partnering with Our Government to Deliver Infrastructure Projects through Innovative Funding and Delivery Models.”

The Deputy Minister urged the built environment sector to leverage its expertise and global networks to drive innovation, mentorship, and investment. 

“Water challenges as experienced in most parts of the country require bold and collaborative solutions from all of us. Together, we can harness technology, finance, and partnerships to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 on clean water and sanitation for all,” he said.

This as the Department of Water and Sanitation remains steadfast in its mission to secure South Africa’s water future. 

Mahlobo’s address underscored the need for unity across government, the private sector, academia, and civil society to transform challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth. –SAnews.gov.za
