Challenges • More funding required to meet water and sanitation backlogs • Figures do not include dilapidated infrastructure and bulk for augmentation especially Karoo towns • Creating a balance between basic infrastructure and LED • High costs per capita due to scattered villages • Sustainability of VIPs • Communities want water borne to replace buckets • If R73m is ring-fenced from R207million then committed projects would be delayed and costly • Non-performing service providers • Few contractors with high ratings with respect to CIDB • Retention of skilled personnel (engineers) • Implementation of the Supply Chain Management Regulations
