The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) warns that the Vaal river, "Gauteng's most vital water resource", may have been irreparably damaged and recommends that the Emfuleni municipality be placed under administration and that public servants, municipal administrators and staff who failed to comply with their obligations be disciplined or dismissed.. The SAHRC confirmed on February 17 that sewage pollution in the Vaal river was negatively impacting on human rights and that existing regulatory and legal mechanisms have proven ineffective in dealing with the challenges.
