Prof Bongani Ncube’s mission to put water back in the hands of the people
From the parched soil of rural Zimbabwe to the policy corridors of South Africa, Prof Bongani Ncube has never lost sight of one truth: water is life, and access to it must be just.
“I was born and raised in the village, and I am the daughter of smallholder farmers,” she reflects. “Working in water and agriculture was part of my upbringing.”
That upbringing now fuels a career at the forefront of the continent's water revolution, earning her the NSTF-WRC Award of the prestigious NSTF-South32 Awards.
As the SARChI Chair in Governance and Economics for Water and Sanitation Sector Institutions at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), Ncube is leading a transdisciplinary research agenda that fuses engineering, economics, governance and grassroots knowledge. Her team includes 30 postgraduate students across three faculties and five South African universities — a growing community of practice working to transform water governance and economics from policy to practice.
