Energy, water crisis early warning sign - WWF

The power supply crisis and looming fresh water shortage are early warning signs that South Africa needs to curb use of natural resources, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said on Wednesday.

"South Africa has a narrowing time window in which to act decisively to prevent critical resource shortages that could dash our hopes of sustained economic growth," said South African WWF for nature chief executive Dr Morne du Plessis.
