As today marks World Water Day, the Federation of Unions of SA expressed their concern at the latest water crisis facing the country.


It says Acid Mine Draining still is a serious threat to natural water resources unless addressed by government.


Fedusa’s Jacques Hugo says the 225-million-Rand budgeted by National Treasury, is not nearly enough funding for the project.


He says what is needed is a process of desalination to effectively tackle the polluted water.
