"... [het] Suid-Afrika gedemonstreer hoe die mensereg tot water as ´n meganisme vir bemagtiging en ´n riglyn vir beleid kan dien ... Waterhervorming wat op hierdie reg gebaseer is, het die land in staat gestel om toegang uit te brei en die erflating van rasseongelykheid, wat ´n apartheidsnalatenskap was, deels deur regsgebaseerde geregtigheid te oorkom". (pp 62/63)
“… South Africa has demonstrated how the human right to water can serve as a mechanism for empowerment and a guide to policy… Rights-based water reform has enabled it to expand access and overcome the legacy of racial inequality inherited from apartheid, partly through rights-based entitlements”.
