The National Development Plan indicates that by 2030 the country should be producing 30 000 qualified artisans per year, this target has been brought forward in the 2014 – 2020 Medium Term Strategic Framework to 31 March 2025.” • At present the country is producing on average 13 000 qualified artisans per year. • 2013 was declared “The year of the artisan” and in 2014 the country produced 18 110. • For the government to reach its target on artisan development and training, the numbers of qualified artisans has to increase exponentially in the next ten years leading up to 2026. So in 2014 the Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training declared the Decade of the Artisan from 2014-2024.

10. What is War on leaks Programme War on leaks is the special purpose programme aimed at assisting Municipalities with fixing water leaks through providing essential skills of artisans, water agents and plumbers to unemployed South African youth. It is targeting to train 15 000 youth over a period of five years across the three training disciplines and use as motive force to fight water leaks in the municipal environment.

43. Development of a Monitoring System: • Department will enhance the current monitoring system in place (refer APP strat.obj. 1.4) to include some of the municipalities benefitting from War on Leaks Programme • Water supply for these municipalities will be fully measured. • The operating system pressure and conditions of infrastructure must be known. • Baseline water supply and use will be set. • Municipalities will report on quarterly basis on performance of War on Leaks implementation programme. • Performance will be compared with baseline information to assess the impact of War of Leaks Programme

44. Achievements • 8 learners have completed their training ahead of schedule • 7 electricians • 1 plumber • 7 electrical artisans are preparing for their trade-testing during the month of October. • The Departments of Correctional Services, Public Works, Health and the South African National Defence Force are giving some of the trainees the required workplace training. • The Strategic Water Partnership Network has also been key in the provision of the workplace training. • In Phase 2 most of the Local municipalities have absorbed the Water Agents
