## Resource

President Cyril Ramaphosa unveils the National Water Action Plan, a bold, multi-pronged strategy to end chronic water shortages across South Africa. Backed by a new Watercom committee, the plan injects cash into aging infrastructure, invites private sector partnerships, and demands strict accountability to ensure water revenue funds actual maintenance—not other town projects. With short, medium, and long-term fixes, it mirrors the electricity crisis response, aiming to rebuild a resilient, corruption-resistant water system where every town gets reliable, clean water.
