A sign of times to come when cities start running out of water.
While within the Mother City a blame game seems to be the only way for politicians to attempt to absolve themselves of direct responsibility, the truth is that the looming Day Zero has a host of geneses. And, given these multiple causes, there should be little surprise as to the pending crisis.
Firstly, South Africa’s budget planning is myopically short-term. The country has lurched from election cycle to election cycle as both national and local spheres attempt to plug the deep holes in social expenditure and exclusion. Politically, elected office bearers regard this as providing immediate benefits to the poor and in return, expecting electoral rewards at the polls.

Thanks for suggesting this. I’ve been wondering what was behind it.
My boss was just visiting here the first two weeks of January – from what I’ve read, it is good he went when he did as it only getting worse.
Cape Town has water restriction of 50 litres of water per person per day.
Do you know Women in Cape Town are requesting salon owners or hair stylists to give them short hair cut? Just to save water…
