SAHRC tracker: 107 of 144 SA water authorities in poor or critical state

A new Water Rights Tracker by the SAHRC and Wits shows 107 of South Africa's 144 water services authorities are in poor or critical condition, with collapsing infrastructure threatening human rights. The crisis, exemplified by Bronkhorstspruit, reflects systemic underinvestment and governance failures. This is a continuation of a known pattern, but the tracker provides a comprehensive baseline for accountability.
