OVERVIEW OF CMAS
Catchment Management Agencies (CMAs) are established in terms the
National Water Act, Act 36 of 108 of 1998 (Chapter 7)
Nine CMAs are to be established nationally
CMAs are subject to the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and
related Treasury regulations– categorized as a Schedule 3A entity:
“service delivery public entity”
The purpose of the CMA is to delegate water resource management to
the catchment level and to involve local communities in the decisionmaking processes.
Broadly, the initial role of a CMA is articulated in the Act as:
•
managing water resources in a WMA,
•
co-ordinating the functions of other institutions involved in
water related matters and
•
involving local communities in water resource management
Five CMAs are gazetted as established i.e Inkomati-Usuthu, BreedeGouritz, Pongola-Mzimkulu, Limpopo-North West and Olifants

OVERVIEW OF CMAS (Continued)
• The Inkomati-Usuthu CMA (IUCMA)
• The Inkomati-Usuthu water management area which is situated in the
Mpumalanga Province of South Africa and shares boarders with both
Mozambique and Swaziland. The water management area has been
divided into Sub-catchments: the Komati River, which rises in South Africa,
flows through Swaziland and then re-enters South Africa before flowing on
into Mozambique; the Crocodile River; the Sabie and Sand River
catchment, the undeveloped Nwanedzi and Nwaswitsontso Rivers that are
wholly within the Kruger National Park and the Usuthu catchment. The
Inkomati-Usuthu water management area is divided by the Drakensberg
Mountains into a western plateau and the sub-tropical Lowveld in the
east, with altitudes ranging from over 2 000 m in the west to as low as 140
m in the east. The estimated population is about 2.2 million. The urban
and semi-urban population makes up 62.3% of the total population and
the rural make up the remaining 37.7%.
The Inkomati-Usuthu Catchment Management Area
OVERVIEW OF CMAS (Continued)
• The Breede-Gouritz CMA (BGCMA)
• The Breede-Overberg Water Management Area (WMA) is situated in the
South-West corner of South Africa. While, it derives its name from the
largest river within its boundaries, namely the Breede River, a significant
portion of the WMA consists of the Overberg. The Breede WMA falls
entirely within the Western Cape Province and is characterised by
mountain ranges in the north and west, the wide Breede River Valley, and
the rolling hills of the Overberg in the south. The Breede valley is flanked
by the Franschhoek and Du Toit’s Mountains in the west as its boundary
with the Berg WMA, the Hex River Mountains to the north between the
Olifants-Dooren WMA and the Langeberg Mountains as the eastern
watershed with the Gouritz WMA. The Overberg meets the Indian Ocean
along its southern coast, including the southernmost tip of Africa. The
estimated population about half a million people, two thirds of whom live
in towns and villages. supporting the agricultural economy, except along
the south coast tourism strip

CHALLENGES
• IUCMA: Finalisation of long lasting water resource
pollution cases with specific reference to
municipalities polluting the water resource with raw
sewerage or poorly treated sewerage
• BGCMA: The Head Office is located in Worcester
which is a rural setting unattractive to scarce and
skilled personnel
