National register of polluters necessary to deal with water pollution, says DWS

The establishment of a national register of polluters will be key to dealing with the pollution of the environment and water sources in South Africa, says Water and Sanitation Minister Senzo Mchunu. This emerged as one of the resolutions of a workshop on ‘Water Services Authorities impacting the Vaal River’, where he told delegates that the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) was set to deal with pollution “head-on” for the benefit of the environment, business and communities.
