Accessto basic services like water and sanitation remains a challenge in some of our communities, especially in the rural parts of the country. There is also an urgent need to address collapsing and dysfunctional infrastructure.

The department of water and sanitation (DWS) implemented a plan to reduce the turnaround of such applications from 300 days, to just 90. This plan has been in action since 1 April, and all those license applications submitted before then will still undergo the 300-day process.

We are therefore upscaling the Welisizwe Rural Bridges Programme to deliver 95 bridges a year from the current 14. Our South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is the implementing agent of the programme and has demonstrated the expertise of SANDF engineers in bridge construction.

The rural roads programme will use labour-intensive methods to construct or upgrade 685 kilometres of rural road over the next three years. This social enterprise programme includes access roads in Limpopo and Eastern Cape, gravel to surface upgrades in Free State and North West, and capacity and connectivity improvements in the Western Cape.

In early June, Water and Sanitation Minister Senzo Mchunu released an "interim" look at South Africa's water infrastructure, and promised the full audit of the water system, the Blue Drop Report, in July.
