Gauteng MEC for Education, Lebogang Maile, has welcomed an investigation recently instituted by the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) into the ongoing water crisis that has hurt communities and schools across the province.
During a media briefing held at Lyndhurst Primary School, Maile highlighted the importance of the investigation as a means to address the persistent challenges surrounding water service delivery, which dominated headlines in recent months.
The SAHRC recently announced that it is undertaking this investigative inquiry as part of its mandate to promote, protect, and monitor human rights in South Africa. Municipalities have been directed to account for their strategies in tackling the water challenges that have emerged as a matter of grave concern for residents.
"We welcome the investigation by the SAHRC, which is calling on municipalities to account. This important initiative is particularly critical as schools are also affected by these water disruptions. We hope that the process will yield valuable information to help us tackle some of these pressing issues," said Maile.
