Johannesburg water crisis reveals shortfalls in delivering on socio-economic rights
This research paper examines the water crisis in Johannesburg as a symptom of broader systemic failures in South Africa's municipal and national governance. It argues that the inability to deliver basic socio-economic rights, such as water and sanitation, is driven by a combination of severe capacity constraints, corruption, and a national government strategy of fiscal consolidation that prioritizes debt reduction over constitutional obligations to citizens.
