KwaZulu-Natal earmarks R30bn for new dams for next 10 years.
Funding for these and other capital projects, Umgeni Water board chair Ziphozethu Mathenjwa said, would not come from national government. She announced that the entity had made a profit of R1.3bn, which meant it was “going to give out a billion [rand] worth of service delivery”.
“We want to be, and to remain, a role model … where we don’t want to write to our shareholders seeking a bailout. That’s who we are, and that’s who we want to be. We will remain resilient, focused and an example to other SOEs,” said Mathenjwa. Mathenjwa said the entity was reviewing processes and systems to ensure that this issue was dealt with.
