The truth is I cannot give a simple "yes" or "no" answer to the question of whether we will reach day zero.  It depends on 2 things:  how much more water we are able to produce, and the extent we which we are able to reduce our usage.  That is as much as I can say honestly, on the information available.  Secondly, I APPLIED to have the Western Cape declared a disaster area in 2015.  HOWEVER, THIS WAS REJECTED by the National Disaster Management Centre.   I do not have the power to declare a disaster without their approval.  These are the facts I have spelled out above.
