Privatization and the Social Value of Water in AfricaDOI: 10.2478/v10023-009-0045-5 Keywords: water, privatization, Africa, social and economic value Abstract: The paper assesses the current clamor and actual privatization of water in Africa. Though this is said to be done in view of wastage and declining access of people to water, this paper submits that the transformation of the social value of water to economic, is rather a continuation of capitalist quest for profit making, which eventually is at the expense of the poor majority.
