Parliament wants probe into bottled water prices
Updated | By Nathan Daniels
Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry says it will write to regulators to investigate increases in the price of bottled water.

The committee believes water traders have increased prices to financially benefit from the water crisis in the Western Cape.
Chairperson, Joanmariae Fubbs, says the committee will write to the Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies and the National Consumer Commissioner (NCC) to ask for a probe .

Fubbs believes an intervention is needed as the poor are bearing the bring of what they believe to be unfair trading.
"The current increase in the price of bottled water being charged by some unscrupulous entrepreneurs amounts to exploitation of the poor and vulnerable and does not reflect the spirit of the Constitution."
The day the City of Cape Town's taps are set to run dry has been set for April 16.
