This was revealed by the department of water and sanitation during a media briefing at the Rand Water head office in Johannesburg on Wednesday.
"The money will come from basic education, the services come from us - but they will be paying for the water."
Water and sanitation acting director-general Mbulelo Tshangana said the process to deliver the tanks was already under way. "The DG of basic education has signed an implementation protocol with myself and the CEO of Rand Water. The department of education has put an amount of about R600m aside to make sure that all the 3,000-plus schools have water and sanitation. Rand Water will be our implementing agent," said Tshangana.
