estimated backlog of 12 million South Africans mainly
rural without access to safe water and another 21 million
without sanitation. By 1999, 5.6 million rural people and
4 million urban people had improved water and sanitation
access. Despite these achievements, the current Minister of
Water Affairs and Forestry noted that at the current rate of
delivery it could take the sector 20 years to attain the
sector’s goals of providing potable water to the rural
populace. The government has embarked on a programme
of accelerating the provision of adequate sanitation for all
by 2010.
