Cape Town is set to become the first major world city to run out of water.



Looks like South Africa is facing a slow motion disaster. This predicament is going to likely becoming more and more common in the future, this first taste will set the benchmark for the response to it.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I saw this. What's more disturbing is that criminal gangs are trying to gather and hoard water from wherever they can get their hands on it with the intention to price-gouge residents for their illegal operations.

Climate change is a myth fabricated by liberals to expand government oversight and tax the wealthy.

It's all part of my plan. As soon as esCape Town runs out of water and all the rich foreigners bugger off I'm moving down to one of those multi-million dollar mansions on the beach with my dogs and my water that I've carefully been hoarding up here on the Highveld. All hail Lex Luthor who gave me the idea. Mwhua ha ha ha!

Nothing to do with weather. Ineffective and corrupt government.

No lies. Getting Zuma as President after Mandela was like taking a step back into the Dark Ages.

Depends who you ask wink

I was born here and I love it here. Many people leave and then spend hours every week writing about how much they miss home, which gets annoying. Life isn't always easy or fair but then, 'Africa isn't for sissies', as the saying goes.

When you live here you either love it or hate it, that's for sure.

OH I know how that works. I live in one of those Places well.

Clearly you don't have the faintest clue how South Africa's government works. You also haven't answered my question.

Flyattractor
You asked a question?

Only thing I really know about S-A Government is that your Post Office kind of sucks.

Yes, you said: "OH I know how that works. I live in one of those Places well." Then I asked where you live, since I was curious.

The Post Office doesn't just "kind of" suck, at the moment I don't know anybody who is willing to use it. It has become so inefficient through incompetence and corruption that everybody uses private companies when they have to send something.

I live in the ULITMATE Flyover State. Kansas. Looked down and spit upon by both of the Left Coasts. And we wouldn't have it any other way.




I was being POLITE!

eek!

From what I can tell your Kansas is a lot like our Free State. I appreciate the politeness, but there's no need. One thing nobody from SA will disagree with: The government is so crippled by corruption and incompetence that it's barely able to function.

Flyattractor
Certain parts of our Political System hope to someday be just like South Africa....

TheVaultDweller
lol the only thing the SA government is good at is stealing, and then blaming everything on Apartheid. You get people who, because they have the right friends etc, land in jobs where they earn more in a month than most SA citizens earn in a year, while doing virtually nothing. And let's not even get into the absolute cringe-fest that is the whole Zuma/Gupta thing, or how some of his family members end up in positions of power/ownership they have no business being in. Or how special law-enforcement units, like the Scorpions, have been silenced in the past for digging too deeply into certain areas.
