The challenge of water-shortage caused by drought impacts the whole of mankind, all the more so those communities surrounding ZAC in the Zululand region. ZAC Environmental Officer Msawenkosi Buthelezi points out that ZAC has intervened and started cleaning four existing water catchments and intends to work on others in the region.

“ZAC has practical solutions to these challenges including deepening the communities’ existing dams. This will allow for more water to be garnered when it rains. Another solution we are in the process of undertaking is the establishment of more catchment areas to prevent rain-run-off occurring,” states Msawenkosi.
