The conversation is difficult to follow and appears to be discussing a drought crisis in South Africa. The lack of water, technical and environmental support is causing problems, including drought conditions and lack of access to clean water. The director of gift at the event hopes to bring together people to address the crisis.

before we did this stage.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:07

			Secondly, I don't think that water
support or water looking after

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

			dams should be a municipality
responsibility. They should fall

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

			under national government. It's
far too important, you know, to

00:05:14 --> 00:05:18

			have it run on the municipality
level. It's something that needs a

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

			whole national team to supervise
all the dams in South Africa,

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

			especially when you are such a
drought crisis, the Eastern Cape,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

			drought is not breaking. There's
water everywhere in the country.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

			Floods here, you know, storms
everywhere. Dams getting full,

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

			River's getting full, but nothing
is happening the Eastern Cape. So

00:05:33 --> 00:05:37

			the drought, the lack of balls,
non functional technical parts,

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

			all equipment, lack of
maintenance, lack of skills, is a

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

			combination of factors causing the
problem, not only in Makanda, but

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

			in many other parts of the Eastern
game. Thank you very much for

00:05:47 --> 00:05:52

			telling us all about what is going
on in Makanda. Dr injear Suleiman,

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
