10 October 2023 - NW2864
Mohlala, Ms MR to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
What (a) number of members constitute the Regulator Commission and (b) are the detailed reasons for a separate commission being in place whereas there are already internal systems in place to assist with the strengthening and improvement of the regulatory function?
Reply:
a) The Regulator Commission has eleven (11) members.
b) The Commission is not a separate entity. It is established as part of the internal systems to strengthen the regulatory autonomy in decision making. It is for this reason that the commission is provided for in the revised National Water Act and the Water Services Act.
