A draft written reply from the South African Minister of Water and Sanitation to a National Assembly question regarding pollution in the Olifants River and its impact on the Kruger National Park.

• Pollution in the Olifants River is negatively impacting aquatic animals, with fish serving as the primary indicator for monitoring the deteriorating health of the river.
• The Department of Water and Sanitation has implemented several measures to address pollution in the Olifants River, including monitoring polluters for compliance with the National Water Act, 1998, implementing a River Health programme, and establishing a departmental task team via the Olifants, Luvuvhu, Letaba and Inkomati (OLLI) Water Resource and Oversight forum.
• The Department states that no single or specific company has been identified as the sole cause of the impact on aquatic ecosystems in the Olifants River.
