Why isn't Xanthea Limberg, the city's former speechwriting major, ID cadre and now water engineer, answering these questions instead of Zille? 
I've said before, Zille involves herself in matters not in her remit like Eskom, international trade and now water. In reply to why province hasn't taken over from the city she wrote: 'Because we have no legal right or mandate to do so.' So, why hasn't she referred these 'questions' to De Lille and Limberg as she ought to? Zille: 'The Constitution prevents spheres of government encroaching on the mandates of other spheres, except when there has been a complete breakdown of service delivery'. 
Or is she admitting in a roundabout way there is a breakdown or impending breakdown of water services in the city. Which is it, Helen - it can't be both? Or is the WC government again violating the constitution and law with impunity? 
She's involving herself in city affairs yet ignores serious matters within her purview passing her desk.
