Abstract

The article examines the unfavorable situation in the water industry of South Africa. Special attention is paid to the recent water crisis in Cape Town and the surrounding areas of the Western Cape Province. In this city, there was a threat of the onset of “Day Zero”, when the municipal water supply would stop completely. Although this was avoided, the article explains why water crises, although on a smaller scale, are regularly observed in other regions of South Africa, including the economic capital of this country, Johannesburg. The final part of the article talks about the assessment of the situation by the newly appointed Minister of Water Affairs and Sanitation and plans to remedy it.
