Business Case for the Pongola-Umzimkulu Catchment Management Agency management will be achieved through appropriate staffing of the CMA, and may require moving beyond the human resource and remuneration policies and approaches of government. Ultimately, the management of risk will be dependent on strong governance arrangements for the CMA. The role of DWA in regulating and overseeing the performance of the CMA will also be important in this regard.
