Paragraph 4 and he starts on 'the Whites'.... but then again, he works for the ANC W Cape! 

But on content.... you cannot use National Statistics / estimates iro local issues. So much is wrong in this article.  The Berg River Dam has never been even at 40% incidentally. 

Then too the Dept Water Affairs has said a Desalinisation Plant would take 97% of their entire Budget, not just a capital budget.... they would need to do most of the funding.

At the same time CCT has hastened too slowly and the current Councillor for Utilities, Ms Limberg seems way, way out of her depth. However CCT is much better then any other Metro or town in handling poor infrastructure.  

Agriculture in the CCT mostly used aquifer water in the Cape Flats, not potable water.
