Thank you, hon President, for the reply. The Provincial Week that we undertook in KwaZulu-Natal last week included a visit to Umkhanyakude. I can confirm that Umkhanyakude District Municipality briefed us that they were finally on the road to gaining access to water from Jozini Dam - something that has been a struggle for almost 18 years.
My question is based on what they told us in Umkhanyakude concerning the issuing of the licence. I think the national government could be playing a greater role to make sure that the water licence is attained. Related to that is the issue of the Umhlathuze Water Services Board, which is already testing the water from boreholes in those areas. Will the Presidential Co- ordinating Council have a greater role in facilitating and speeding up the getting of the licence to access water in Jozini?
