# The South African Human Rights Commission has released a policy brief asking urgent action against organised syndicates sabotaging water infrastructure. The brief outlines legal and policy tools available to combat the growing threat posed by water mafias. It calls for classifying water-related crimes as national priority offences, stronger SAPS action, prosecutions, and critical infrastructure protection. The Commission warns that unchecked sabotage risks national water security and undermines essential service delivery.
