For years, load shedding dominated discussions around business continuity. Today, another infrastructure crisis is rapidly becoming impossible to ignore.
Water.
South Africa’s water crisis is not a future risk. It is a current reality.
Water tariffs have increased by more than 2,400% since 1996. Nearly half of the country’s treated water is lost through leaks. Across the country, ageing infrastructure, under-investment, rising demand and recurring outages are placing increasing pressure on businesses that rely on a consistent water supply.
Johannesburg Water’s own 2026/27 business plan acknowledges the growing pressure facing South Africa’s water infrastructure, citing years of under-investment, declining service performance, and financial constraints. In its own words, the city’s water and sanitation services are experiencing “serious challenges” and are “not sustainable”. This is not simply a Johannesburg issue. It is a broader national challenge that is increasingly affecting businesses across South Africa.
At AQFin, we help organisations take control of that risk.
Working alongside Kampwater, a South African engineering specialist that has been designing and delivering containerised water treatment solutions across Africa since 2007, AQFin provides fully managed water infrastructure solutions tailored to each client’s needs. From geohydrology and borehole development to treatment, monitoring and long-term maintenance, every aspect is professionally managed.
The difference is that AQFin doesn’t just provide the solution.
We fund it.
Our model enables businesses to implement a water solution with no upfront capital expenditure. Clients only pay for the water produced, often at a cost lower than their current municipal supply, while gaining greater resilience, operational certainty and long-term water security.
Because when water stops, business stops.
