Developed 25 new Human Resources for the organisation from 1998 to 2010.
Support function like Human Resources Ma at Umgeni Water works normal eight hours a per. The company provides great opportunities for growth through learning and development. Mangers are given opportunities to be in charge of their departments but have to be accountable at the end. I appreciate the way the organisation allows opportunities for young people to grow.
Pros: More opportunities of development through Leading and Development programmes of the company.
Cons: Very few staff from support functions who are supporting 1300 technical staff.

Perfectionist at what i do
Umgeni Water is a good company to work for, you are self driven as long as you meet your target and deadlines. Co workers are the greatest element in the success of the organization, as team efforts are what makes the business grow. division do not work in isolation. what makes my work exciting is that you never now what to expect from one day to the next, as there are those structured tasks and those that are adhoc. one has to be basically on your toes and be able to multi task between projects I enjoy working under pressure as It keeps you energized, being able to handle multiple projects at the same time and constantly working on new projects. Most challenging aspect is pleasing everyone
Pros: Excellent training ground
Cons: Healthy work environment

Excellent Learning curve and Growth
hi my name is Ndumiso Ngwazi, working at Umgeni at Umgeni water is very exciting and very uplifting because it's a very relaxed company but when it comes to delivering it is very excellent because the people of Umgeni Water work so hard and are very good at what they do and are ranked among one of the best companies to work for and I myself really enjoy my time here. there is never a dull day at Umgeni Water and I have learned so much within a minimum of a short space and I have grasped as much information as I could and I am quite happy with that. The most challenging part is when you have to deal with employees issues especially if they haven't been paid for their training requests, if their tuition fees have not been paid and so forth but other then that its great to work here in particular.
Pros: Great opportunity for growth and promotion in terms of being absorbed more in the company for your hard work.
Cons: too much paper work
