We can blame everyone and everything, including the Devil (as I heard done on Cape Talk the other day) for the water crisis, but it doesn't do a blind bit of good. We need to stop whining and moaning and get water recycling facilities and on-demand desalination plants built. We will NEVER get enough rain for the exploding and greedy human population in the metropole. I would be much happier to see my tax Rands spent on possibly exorbitantly expensive  water projects than lining the pockets of the Zuptocracy. At least there is something in it for future generations if we boost water provision. 
Maybe we should ask the Gupta's Russian choms to build a desalinator with the trillions Zuma promised them rather than a nuclear plant.
