南非水务和卫生部门 (DWS) 不会干涉市政当局的供水, South Africa's Water and Sanitation Dept (DWS) won't interfere with municipalities' water provision unless necessary, but will support struggling ones. 水和卫生部长佩米·马约迪纳（Pemmy Majodina）澄清说，提供当地的供水和卫生服务是市政责任，DWS负责监督水资源管理、标准和支持。 Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina clarified that providing local water and sanitation services is a municipal responsibility, with DWS overseeing water resource management, standards, and support. 然而，非洲论坛呼吁DWS发挥更积极的作用，与市政当局以及合作治理和传统事务部合作，解决南非的水危机。 However, AfriForum calls for DWS to take a more active role, collaborating with municipalities and the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs to address South Africa's water crisis.
