Johannesburg – Water is the new “Eskom” problem for South Africa – only more complex, according to Professor Anthony Turton, water strategy specialist.



“Unfortunately, water does not seem to be a priority for the government, despite my efforts to warn that the national economy is fundamentally water constrained,” said Turton at the annual convention of the SA Property Owners Association (Sapoa).

He advised businesses and organisations, however, “not to panic over the horror story of a water crisis”.
