Cape Town Will Run Out Of Water In Fewer Than 100 Days

With fewer than 95 days left before they run dry, Cape Town might become the first major city in the world to run out of water.

The coastal South African city has been battling droughts for nearly three years, amounting to the worst one in their history. It’s now seriously reaching crunch time. With little rain on the horizon, the city has now ordered its 3.7 million residents to drastically cut their water consumption, take short stop-start showers, not wash their cars, and flush toilets as little as possible. If they don't, all of their taps could be shut off by April.

If the area you live in could run out of water.. you might just live in a shithole.

How much water did they have available during the awful days of apartheid ?
What has been the most significant change since then ?

The blacks running the country now have stolen most of the maintenance funds to line their own pockets.
