In response to water governance issues, the Portfolio Committee requested that: . The Department and Rand Water brief the Portfolio Committee on the findings and recommendations of the "Due Diligence' report; . The Portfolio Committee needs to track the strategies and timeframes proposed by the two water boards in terms of their turnaround strategy; and . The meetings in Mpumalanga provided an overview of the turnaround strategy of the boards, the performance of Inkomati and KOBWA. It is therefore necessary for the Portfolio Committee to track progress of the projected strategies and timeframes of all these entities.
