Access to water and sanitation in South Africa

# data[].attributes.body
Cape Town is quite used to surviving dry years. Water restrictions get it through and then dams refill, thanks to the wet years that usually follow.

But this time it’s different. Never in recorded history has Cape Town encountered a drought of such severity for three consecutive years.

One of the biggest debates is whether local government is handling the crisis effectively. Investigating this question exposes politics, not rainfall, at the heart of the problem.

A burst pipe turned into a water collecting bonanza as residents scooped the precious liquid into bottles‚ buckets and cups in the southern suburbs of Cape Town.

Khaya Gasela Yozi posted photographs and video footage on Tuesday of the water spewing out of a crater next to a road in Rondebosch.

He criticised authorities for taking too long to respond to the massive leak which had apparently been gushing since the early hours of the morning.

A crew of city workers arrived to repair the leak before 9am.

Residents produced an assortment of bottles and buckets to collect the clean water - highlighting how water conscious many people have become as the city faces a water crisis and people respond by stocking up on bottled water.

In a second video‚ showing the leak being repaired‚ a person says: "This is clean water. This is drinkable water and now it is wasted. The city talks about day zero yet we are wasting water."

Mayoral committee member for energy‚ informal settlements‚ water and waste services Xanthea Limberg said the pipe was fixed in less than 24 hours after the leak was reported.

36 Percent Of South Africa's Water Is Lost Unnecessarily

The way the water system works is that a city will buy water, then sell it, and the discrepancy between what is bought and what is sold, is what is called 'unaccounted for water'. Much of it is via leaking pipes, some is via municipal services like watering parks which might not be metered, but a significant – though unknown

The solution to managing water demand in Cape Town lies in the 'leafy suburbs' ,that use some 65 percent of the city's water in a 'normal' year – with a large proportion going to water gardens and filling swimming pools.

“No filling (automatic or by hand) of private swimming pools with municipal water is allowed, even if the pool is covered. This includes the filling of new swimming pools and the refilling of existing swimming pools after repair work. The use of municipal water for portable swimming pools is also prohibited.

Give employment opportunities to everyone, no matter what part of the country they are from. No matter what school their parents were able to afford. No matter if they are women. The truth is a lot of young Africans are looking for jobs, but the employers are too busy paying attention what part of the region the people are from, and of course they are missing on a lot of great potential employee.
