Hi Eusebius McKaiser 702, Please query your guests regarding the enforcement of water use licenses in the country.

It is unfortunate that Wits University will be losing an exceptional leader; wishing Adam Habib the very best with his future endevours.

Hi Johannesburg Water, please log a burst pipe for me outside 64 Fir Road, Glenhazel, nrst crn Fir Rd & Daleview Rd Glenhazel. Will most likely require an excavator as its beneath a recent tarred road repair from a previous burst pipe. Thank you p.s. tried to log via email.

Hi Johannesburg Water please send a team to attend to a major burst pipe outside 0A George Ave, Glensan, Johannesburg, 2192. Nearest crn: George Ave & Alexandria St, Glensan. Thank you

Congratulations to SAIAB’s Senior Scientist, Dr Albert Chakona on his appointment as the Chief Scientist of the institute. He is a leading researcher in aquatic biodiversity with a focus on taxonomy, systematic, conservation and protecting the future of freshwater biodiversity.
