Ramaphosa: Water indaba must be solution driven
President Cyril Ramaphosa has cautioned delegates at the Water Indaba in Midrand not to diagnose well-known problems but rather to find solutions.
Ramaphosa addressed the gathering on Thursday morning.
"These challenges have been consistently reflected in the report of the municipal strategic self-assessment, StatsSA and the Auditor-general," said Ramaphosa.
"She recounts events and instances where water is now treated as a business and where corruption is quite plentiful."
