While I also believe the DA has not showered(sic) itself with glory, we must never forget two things. Firstly, government employees are never the sharpest knives in the drawer anywhere and I do believe they've tried very hard in the Cape to against almost insurmountable odds. Secondly, those odds have mainly been inflated by this oke's big mates, the ANC. For a start, their misrule of the province and town before the DA took over is extensively on record. Then their incompetence in other parts of the country - especially the Eastern Cape - has driven hundreds of thousands of their supporters down here, to the extent that something like 70% of our rates is spent on them, to say nothing of the water they use. That leaves very little spare to invest in water supply supplementation such as solar powered desalination plants. 

Frankly, this oke is as bad as his ANC mate in Masiphumelele who bragged about stopping the recent bike race using burning tyres. A total waste of space.
