In this submission to the Minister of Water and Sanitation, the Institute of Race Relations argues that the revised Regulations Regarding the Procedural Requirements for Water Use Licence Applications and Amendments must be withdrawn, as they are unconstitutional on procedural grounds, for a failure to facilitate proper public consultation informed by comprehensive SEIA reports, and are also unconstitutional on substantive grounds.
