# Johannesburg mayor Dada Morero has welcomed the South African Human Rights Commission report and recommendations regarding Gauteng’s water and sanitation crisis. Across the nine municipalities that supply water in the province, the commission found recurring issues including ageing and deteriorating infrastructure, high levels of water losses, insufficient storage and pumping capacity and bulk water failures within the municipal distribution systems. Morero says the metro needs about 13-billion-rand to replace its ageing water infrastructure and curb massive water losses. He has committed to implementing the SAHRC’s eight recommendations.
