Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse initiative WaterCAN and AfriForum are raising their concerns over the latest results from the Department of Water and Sanitation’s (DWS’s) full Blue and No Drop reports, as well as the Green Drop Progress report, which shows the deteriorating state of South Africa’s drinking and wastewater operations.

The Blue and No Drop reports indicate that there has been a decline in drinking water quality and an increase in nonrevenue water since the last reports were issued in 2014. The Green Drop Progress report meanwhile indicates a deterioration in the performance of municipal wastewater treatment systems.

Impala Bafokeng Platinum Mine has issued a warning of legal consequences against employees involved in an unauthorised underground sit-in.

The mine management’s declaration comes in response to a reported workers’ protest addressing various concerns, including alleged unfair distribution of shares among the workforce.

Some protesting employees claim to have faced suspension as a result of voicing their grievances.

The mine, through a memorandum disseminated to all employees and obtained by SABC News, asserts that the unsanctioned underground sit-in not only violates Impala Bafokeng’s Code but is also linked with criminal activities.

According to the memo, the mine management vows to pursue legal action and criminal charges against employees engaged in planning or facilitating the unauthorised sit-in.

The charges mentioned include kidnapping, attempted kidnapping, hostage taking, sexual harassment exposure, threatening behavior, harassment, and victimisation.
