Provincial Joint Tactical Committee on water established in Free State

To ensure water services are prioritised in the Free State, a Provincial Joint Tactical Committee (PJTC) has been established with representatives from the department of Water and Sanitation, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, the South African Local Government Association, water boards and water use associations. The establishment of the PJTC is a result of many competing needs for water from a multitude of users in the province. Therefore, effective water resource management requires the involvement of all three spheres of government, water entities and civil society.
