[In pictures] This afternoon, Rand Water’s Group Chief Executive, Mr. Sipho Mosai joined industry leaders at the Water Executives' Roundtable during the 14th IWA International Conference on Water Reclamation & Reuse in Cape Town. Reflecting on the challenges facing the sector, Mr. Mosai highlighted that over the past five years, South Africa has not only struggled with water demand management but wastewater management has become an equally pressing issue. He emphasized the urgent need to rethink and reimagine how the country manages both water and wastewater to ensure long-term sustainability. An enabling environment is critical, legislation must be simplified and action-driven to accelerate progress. Bureaucracy remains a major hurdle, and sustainable water solutions cannot afford to be delayed by red tape. Rand Water is already taking proactive steps, including launching Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in Gauteng and forming partnerships with municipalities to improve water infrastructure. #RWSponsorships #IWAReuse2025 #IWAWRCConference #RWWaterSustainability [NS]

#RWSponsorships #IWAReuse2025 #IWAWRCConference #RWWaterSustainability Speaking at the IWA International Conference on Water Reclamation & Reuse 2025, IWA President Prof. Hamanth Kasan reflected on the progress of water reuse globally. He highlighted that despite the first water reclamation plant being commissioned over 60 years ago in Windhoek, Namibia, the adoption of water reuse technologies remains slow. He urged the industry to move beyond discussions and focus on accelerating implementation, emphasizing that IWA’s 9,000+ members worldwide must play a pivotal role in driving real change. Minister Pemmy Majodina echoed this urgency, reinforcing that water is a fundamental human right and that ensuring access to safe water remains South Africa’s top priority, as declared by His Excellency, President Cyril Ramaphosa. She emphasized that the insights shared at this conference will be instrumental in shaping the country’s first-ever Water and Sanitation Indaba, scheduled for 27 – 28 March 2025, where long-term solutions for water security and sustainability will be discussed.

[Repost] Department of Water and Sanitation The Ministry of Water and Sanitation, led by Minister Pemmy Majodina, alongside the Rand Water Foundation and Mpumalanga Provincial Government, observed International Women’s Day on Saturday, 08 March 2025 by handing over newly drilled boreholes to the Thembisile Hani Local Municipality in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga. The boreholes were donated by the Rand Water Foundation, as part of collaborative efforts to address the urgent water needs of the community, particularly women, children, and people with disabilities, who bear the brunt of water scarcity. This initiative underscores the Ministry’s commitment to fast-tracking water provision and ensuring equitable access to this basic human right. The boreholes serve as an interim solution while the Loskop Regional Bulk Water Supply Project, a R2 billion long-term infrastructure project is currently under construction. In addition to the borehole handover, the Ministry identified Kwathando Care Centre, a Non-Profit Organisation in Kwamhlanga, for the donation of sanitary products and toilet paper. The centre cares for 130 children and persons with disabilities and provides a safe and nurturing environment for some of the most vulnerable members of the community. Founded in 2008, Kwathando Care Centre is a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives. The name "Kwathando" means “a place abundant with love” in IsiNdebele, reflecting the centre’s mission to provide care, education, and support to children and persons with disabilities. The Ministry of Water and Sanitation remains steadfast in its commitment to accelerating water provision and addressing the challenges faced by women, children, and people with disabilities. The Loskop Regional Bulk Water Supply Project and the Rand Water Foundation’s borehole initiatives are critical components of this effort, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of water security. The delegation also conducted an oversight inspection of packages 2 and 3 of the Loskop Regional Bulk Water Supply Scheme Project. #RandWaterAtWork #RWFoundation #RWCSI #RWWaterSustainability [NS]
