If someone could add better and more recent figures on investment and financing, that would be much appreciated. The 2008 infrastructure barometer by the Development Bank of South Africa contains a wealth of information on the sector. It would be great if someone could go through it and improve the article further based on its content.--Mschiffler (talk) 07:43, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On March 9 an anonymous editor using the IP address 98.226.198.234 made substantial additions to various sections of the article concerning the role of race, gender, basic rights and pollution in South Africa, including a historical overview of Apartheid. Some of the statements are unreferenced, and others have very general references such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Other statements have references to publications that are not available on-line and are thus difficult to check. Many of the additions are very general and do not cite specific cases where the general statements made are applied to water and sanitation in South Africa, such as "Pollution became rampant". Beyond doubt the the topics of race, gender, basic rights and pollution are important to understand water and sanitation in South Africa and the article should be expanded to include them. However, I believe that the additions have provided limited value added to the article because of the lack of specific cases and the general nature of many of the statements ("There are only a few natural water sources in South Africa"). I will thus take out the additions, but would like to encourage those interested in improving the article concerning these aspects to discuss additions on this page or to make specific additions with references that are preferably accessible on-line.--Mschiffler (talk) 07:25, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The information found in citation 2 is from pages 59-60 of the provided document, not pages 52-53 (which concern primarily labour force statistics) as stated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.48.253.226 (talk) 14:31, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The page numbers as they stand now are correct. This is probably a misunderstanding, because the page numbers as they stand now refer to the page numbers in the document itself, while it seems that you refer to the page numbers in the PDF file that show up when you scroll through the document and which include the title page and Table of Content of the document.--Mschiffler (talk) 15:56, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
