Speaker, Minister, at the beginning of Water Week, there were workers of Johannesburg Water who were marching, and amongst the placards they were carrying, one said:
Imagine a day without drinking water.
Basically, many people in South Africa still do not have access to water, so they cannot even ``imagine a day without drinking water''.
The issue with regard to these municipalities which do not pay is not only that they serve the poorest of the poor, but also that those particular municipalities are being run by people who are incapable of running them.
Are you, in terms of your interaction with other departments, insisting that the municipalities appoint people who are able to deliver the services that are required?
