One of the most celebrated achievements of South Africa’s transition to democracy is the Bill of Rights, enshrined in the Constitution, which states that, "everyone has the right to have access to sufficient water." The privatization of water violates that constitutional and human right in every way imaginable. At all levels of life - political, social, economic and cultural - the privatization of water is anti-democratic, anti-social and anti-human. In response to privatization South African activists have created a national coalition against water privatization.
