AHI partners with South African government to address municipal water and sanitation…
What happened
The Department of Provincial and Local Government and Afrikaanse Handelsinstituut (AHI) established a strategic partnership aimed at ensuring safe drinking water and sanitation across South Africa. Multi-disciplinary teams were deployed to several municipalities, including Emfuleni Local Municipality, to determine the extent of problems and implement immediate solutions. These municipalities were found to suffer from aged infrastructure, limited technical skills, and weak general and financial management capacity.
