WUC face challenges in village water supply services takeover

WUC communications manager, Matilda Mmipi has said that the exercise is faced with challenges that range from poor staff qualification, slow process of signing up customers and the need to upgrade the existing infrastructure in some villages. She said that most staff from the defunct Water Affairs are not qualified and this has complicated efforts of WUC to take over the services.

"There is ongoing training to upgrade some of them so that they can gain competencies to help them qualify for, and be able to perform efficiently in the jobs on offer," she explained.
