The release of the Green Drop Report has been delayed as it still requires further technical work and is intended for further parliamentary processes, as well as possibly to help in securing further funding, according to Thandeka Mbassa, Deputy Director General: Regions for the Department of Water Affairs.
Mbassa was delivering an address on behalf of the Minister of Water Affairs in her absence to the 4th Municipal Water Quality Conference, which is being held at Sun City from 7 to 11 July 2013. Approximately 1 100 delegates are attending the conference from all avenues of the water industry. The conference has been convened under the theme “Together committed to excellent Water Quality for the future”.
Notable on the programme that has been handed out to attending delegates is that the Green Drop Awards, which were scheduled to take place on Wednesday, 10 July 2013 as per the previous conference programme, has been changed to a Gala Dinner, leading delegates and exhibitors to ask the question: with no report released, will the Green Drop Awards still go ahead as planned?
