There will be minimal negotiations with water service authorities who must improve the ongoing water woes South Africa is facing, Water and Sanitation Minister Senzo Mchunu has said.

He made the comments during a water imbizo at King Zwelithini Stadium in Umlazi on Wednesday before a group of about 200 residents.

“There won’t be too much of negotiation, it will be more of prescription as a result of scientific results coming from drops,” Mchunu told the media on the sidelines of the event.
