QUESTION 1
The writer's purpose with this text appears to be to inform and raise awareness about the
severe water crisis facing South Africa, as evidenced by the latest findings from the
Department of Water and Sanitation's Blue Drop Audit Report. The writer meticulously
details the deteriorating state of the country's drinking water quality and the failing water
infrastructure to highlight the urgency and gravity of the situation.
This is evidenced by the grim statistics provided, such as the alarming fact that nearly half
(46%) of all water supply systems pose acute human health risks due to bacterial or
pathogen contamination, and the high percentage (67.6%) of wastewater treatment works
that are nearing failure. The inclusion of these specific figures showcases the severity of
the problem and serves to inform the reader about the widespread nature of the crisis.
