Water has become a national priority

Planning for the impact of climate change is essential, hence an inter-ministerial committee to improve service delivery, including water and sanitation, in South Africa. This is according to Mike Sutcliffe, director of the company City Insight who works closely with the committee to analyse service delivery and aligning better practices of about 35 000 existing project in the country. Sutcliffe was part of a Nation in Conversation discussion last week at Graan SA’s Nampo Harvest week about water which is a critical commodity. OFM News’ Dane Beisheim spoke to Sutcliffe and Francois Strydom, Group CEO of Senwes after the discussion. Strydom was part of the panel which was anchored by Theo Vorster the CEO of Galileo Capital
