Summary
President Ramaphosa unveils a bold new plan to tackle South Africa’s crippling water crisis, launching the National Water Access Acceleration Programme with a massive R156 billion investment over three years. Starting in Hammanskraal — a community devastated by past water failures and a deadly cholera outbreak — the government is rolling out boreholes, treatment plants, and localized solutions like rainwater harvesting across provinces. After decades of neglect and broken promises, this initiative aims to fix infrastructure faster, hold local officials accountable, and ensure every household finally gets reliable, clean water — not just in cities, but in the most underserved communities.
