They are calling it "Day Zero" - the day that Capetown, South Africa will run out of water. That day will happen in less than 3 months.
The water conservation efforts of the city's population has been spotty at best. Apparently the dire nature of the crisis has not set in. This has forced the city to plan on instituting draconian measures to stretch the water supply beyond early April.

The worst drought in over a century, which has pushed Cape Town's water scarcity into a potentially deadly horizon Its population, which is 4 million and growing quickly A rapidly changing climate
Reason number two is the key issue here. Africans are leaving the sh!t hole that is most of Africa and fleeing north to Europe or south the the relatively modern city of Cape Town. Cape Town has been through droughts before just not with 4 million residents.
Mandela has created quite the Utopia down there, hasn’t he?
Get ready for another influx of thirsty “refugees” from Africa. When your world goes to sh*t, don’t bother trying to fix it. Run to America.
$..t Hole country.
Perhaps some day someone in charge there will notice that Cape Town (hint: the name!) is right on the ocean? Which has lots of water.
$..t Hole country.

...with no water for flushing!
Nah - too easy!
Welcome to the hotel California.
Water water everywhere, and not a drop to flush.
“Mandela has created quite the Utopia down there, hasn’t he?”
Just another of a long, long list of “Black leadership” failures. They could turn The Garden of Eden into a $hithole in less than a generation, and not have a clue as to why they failed.
Beat me to it. They still mindlessly praising a dead man while the live ones turn it into just another Dark Continent hellhole.
So what can be done with all these extra people from the various Sxxxhole countries? In times past millions would die off due to drought etc. Now we try to keep everyone alive by shipping them around which just moves the problem to another area of the world.
The only feasible answer is to correct the problems in those areas. But how can this be done without wars? Sending money to be flushed is not the answer. It just ends up in some Despots Swiss bank account.
Quick, send Conan!
Yup. We'll only take the Black ones though.
FlingWingFlyer will pay for it.(and, while he's paying, it's still be okay to call him names and such)
“”Africans are leaving the sh!t hole that is most of Africa and fleeing north to Europe or south the the relatively modern city of Cape Town.””
And taking the water with them? This is ABOUT Cape Town so they aren’t fleeing TO Cape Town.
The article didn’t mention one very significant factor contributing to the water shortage. Bulk provision of water is the responsibility of National Govt. Local govt cleans and distributes.
Politics plays a large role here. The Western Cape is the only province which is not governed by the ANC and we constantly deal with attempts to undermine local govt. Too much water was allocated by National Govt to agriculture and not enough to urban/suburban areas.
Merkel will take a few million Cape Towners so that she can finish off Germany.
Used to be one of the strongest economies on the African continent, turned upside down after the terrorist Mandela and his thugs stole the country.
I’ve been saying for years, the lifeboat(USA) can only handle “ X”
amount of passengers.
What is happening in Cape Town can happen elsewhere,.It is called “behavioral sink”.
