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.
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.
Quick, send Conan!
“”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.
and, of course, no planning with one of these:
