Just another UTTERLY useless political gabfest involving all the people who are supposed to solving this problem. We must accept the fact that ALL the people responsible for solving the problem simply do have the skills or the political courage to do the right thing. Every time they speak they spew out more of the same anodyne garbage while the situation continues to deteriorate. 

I have communicated with Helen Zille at her request and suggested that she invoke her emergency powers to place the municipal water department under administration. That she appoint someone competent who reports direct to her to manage the crisis free of political interference.

I have suggested very harsh measures against water delinquents and these should now be extended to industry and commerce under the threat of closure if they ignore restrictions and refuse to help with saving water. It is no great task to tell every metered user what their maximum allowable usage should be based on historical usage
