The Department of Water and Sanitation in KwaZulu-Natal (DWS KZN) will host officials from Japanese Embassy in South Africa on Wednesday, 21 August 2019 at the Provincial Office in Durban.

The objective of the meeting between the Department and officials from the Embassy is to discuss possible collaborations with regards to water related projects in the province.
