Henry Mwebe's Masters Thesis at University of Pretoria

www.up.ac.za/dspace/bitstream/2263/1096/1/mwebe_h_1.pdf

The above link may or may not work. If it doesn't Google THE IMPACT OF PRIVATISATION ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC RIGHTS AND SERVICES and Henry Mwebe. You'll find a PDF version you can download.

It may be hard to fathom enjoying reading a masters thesis from six years ago, but after many hours of searching for a comprehensive portrayal of water privatization in South Africa, I was relieved to find Mr. Mwebe's paper online. He artfully lays out the pros and cons of privatization, and then sets the issue in the context of socio-economic ethics, using both realist logic and empathy to guide his critical response. A great resource for anyone attempting to understand the multi-faceted issue of privatization in South Africa.
