South Africa’s water crisis isn’t about scarcity—it’s about infrastructure.
At Infrastructure Africa, engineers highlighted a critical reality: nearly 47% of treated water is lost before reaching communities. That’s not just waste—it’s an estimated R15 billion annual loss to the economy.
Cities like Johannesburg are already feeling the strain, underscoring the urgent need for investment, maintenance, and smarter water management systems.

A big thank you to for the coverage and for spotlighting this critical issue.
