Abstract
The paper covers the history of Rand Water, the largest public water utility in South Africa, which was established over a hundred years ago following the discovery of gold on the Highveld of the Transvaal Republic, now Gauteng Province, South Africa. This history bears out the essential role that the engineering profession, specifically the civil engineering profession, plays in development. A challenge is issued to society to recognize this and allow the profession to play its role in the future for the benefit of society.
