Claim: To curb water wastage, the Department of Water and Sanitation has begun its programme of training 15,000 young people as artisans.

Q1: What is the Department of Water and Sanitation's programme of training?
A1: The department of water and sanitation launched their War on Leaks project in August 2015.

Q2: How many people did they aim to train?
A2: Its initial aim was to train 15,000 artisans, water agents and plumbers from 2015/16 to 2017/18. They would fix leaking taps and pipes in their communities, helping promote water conservation. Water agents were tasked with educating the public on how to use water wisely and manage water resources.

Q3: Have they begun the programme?
A3: Phase 1 of the project was meant to be completed in the 2015/16 financial year, after 3,000 artisans, plumbers and water agents were trained. Figures from November 2019 show that 1,726 candidates completed their training.

Another 5,000 were meant to be trained in 2016/17, when phase 2 started. But the available data shows that only 3,854 people were trained. 

Phase 3 was “put on hold” due to the department’s “funding challenges”. A commitment to more funding was reportedly made in January 2020.
