Service delivery challenges in the Northern Cape have seen the Human Rights Commission HRC holding a two-day engagement in Kimberley with politicians, municipal officials and civil society groups, to find solutions.
At the top of the agenda were issues around the lack of access to water in some communities and long-running sewage spills.
The Commission plans to keep a close eye on municipalities failing to provide basic services.
For the past few years, some communities in the Northern Cape have battled to access water.
Residents in areas like Gong Gong, Longlands, Warrenton and Jenn Haven near Postmansburg, have felt the brunt of failures by their local municipalities in providing water.
