AfriForum’s documentary, Running dry - A nation on the brink, which deals with the current state of affairs.
South Africa is facing a water crisis that is exacerbated by the fact that this water scarce country must regularly contend with the pollution of natural water sources. Meanwhile citizens’ water security is threatened by the prevalence of unsafe drinking water and frequent interruptions in water supply, while some citizens don’t have access to clean drinking water. However, AfriForum is not going to stand back and watch this situation turn towards disaster.

The root of the pollution is lack of service delivery, to collect the waste in the township and squatters camps , waste to energy will help to combat this as 1 x ton of plastics waste produces 1 MW Energy , It has started in South Africa. First waste to energy production creating hundreds of jobs. Adding to that it can provide waste heat to sewage plant to make the digesters work, waste solids are then consumed into energy. IPP is the only way.. red tape has to get out the way.

Africa should know the best of all, because of all the minerals that were dug up from the ground and exported these minerals globally! Gold, diamonds, platinum, bauxite, colored gemstones, iron ore, precious metals, and uranium has to be dug up from the earth's crust, which makes the crust thinner so that extreme heat will rise. All countries have these minerals, and each are digging massively, removing the earth's crust, and making the crust thinner! A world on the brink - Running Dry!

I agree: lets work on: Allowing operation and maintenance to be undertaken by communities. Service Delivery Agreements need to be put in place! Amendment of the municipal tariff structure is critical! I currently pay double = 1x Municipal Fees + 1x Home Owners Association levies. This is not a sustainable situation.

This is imperative to understand - the church and South Africa (more than 2/3's) have made their 2024 choice - they have chosen leaders (ANC, DA, EFF, MK and the like) who support and condone the murder of unborn babies and who support and condone sexual immorality (amongst other atrocious anti-biblical morals). Consequently, both the offending church, (individual and corporate), along with the nation, will suffer the dire consequences over the ensuing years. My conviction however is that those children of God who resisted the temptation to vote for the above-mentioned offending parties and similar, will experience the grace of God during the very trying and ensuing years.

I recently took a tour of some rural towns in that vicinity, as well as Gauteng, and I was shocked when town after town had no running water, and therefore no working ablution facilities. The people were apologetic, but explained that it was completely normal for them. Fortunately I managed to purchase a spade at a hardware store, and I was eventually able to perform bodily functions in some suitable bushes. As I wiped my backside with the toilet paper that I purchased at the local Spar, I considered how the ANC Government Ministers (and Municipalities) are wiping their backsides with The Constitution's Bill of Rights 😡
