The water crisis has a whistle-blower problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the countrywide situation of persistent dry taps, South African residents deserve better water governance, driven by better choices â what gets maintained, what gets prioritised, what gets procured, and who is held accountable when the system fails. But we also need whistle-blowers to be able to confidently come forward with valuable information, so that the crisis is prevented before it gets out of hand.
