Stakeholder engagement, underpinned by effective administrative support, is key
to the successful implementation of the Strategy. Communication, sharing of
information and engagement between members of the DWS, SSC and PSP structures
are vital.
The logistics and arrangements of the Strategy Steering Committee and other
related meetings are been be undertaken on an ongoing basis. Invitations are
distributed to members together with a response sheet, an agenda as well as the
relevant documents to be discussed at the meetings. Minutes of meetings are
distributed to members within two weeks of each meeting.
Directly involved stakeholders are informed of the study and its progress through
the SSC Meetings. Several other sectors of stakeholders (agriculture, industry,
local government, domestic users) are be kept informed and engaged in the study.

Media releases are distributed to the media in the Greater Bloemfontein Water Supply System to inform readers and listeners of the maintenance and implementation of the strategy -
