She says the water from this tap has been reliable. The Lephalale municipality, situated 30 kilometres away, manages the water from this remote area.
HEALTHY WATER, FOR ALL, FOR EVER Delivering safe, healthy water and decent sanitation to all South Africans has been one of the greatest challenges for the government during its democratic era. There has been significant effort to redress the imbalance of previous discrimination in this sector, at the same time as serving a growing urban population. However, rural and township areas continue to pose significant challenges in bringing service delivery to disadvantaged, poor communities. 15.9 MILLION SOUTH AFRICANS DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SAFE WATER SUPPLIES IN 1994 FACTS Historical imbalance In 1994, at the time of South Africa’s transition to a multiracial democracy, the distribution of water-related services to the country’s 39 million inhabitants was skewed to serve the white minority. Around 15.9 million South Africans, many in rural areas, did not have access to safe water supplies, while only 59% had access to basic levels of water service – usually a communal tap. In 1992, a standing committee on water and sanitation helped to develop a strategy to transform the water sector to one of greater social equity and ecological integrity. Ultimately, it has meant extending the water supply system to the whole population, while at the same time maintaining its supply to industry and agriculture as part of the cornerstone of South Africa’s economic development.
