Only 68.79% of South African households receive a reliable daily water supply, according to parliamentary data disclosed by Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina.
This highlights the gap between households that are connected to water infrastructure and those that can depend on water reaching their taps without interruptions lasting longer than 48 hours.
The National Water Action Plan (NWAP) prioritises stabilising municipalities, governance reform, infrastructure investment, and anti-corruption measures.
