Ms Zille:

A statistic that you should be able to summon in a day would clarify much of the debate.  What was the months of cover per year from say 1990 to now?   For clarity, months of cover is:
Total storage capacity
/
Average monthly draw

When you get that stat, ask your experts why it was thought a good idea to PLAN a water system down to less than half its historic rate of cover?   The Berg dam is less than 20% of your storage and it is all that has been added in 39 years, during which time the population probably quadrupled.

Many of us would give you half an ear if the DA would for once grow a pair, stop acting like politicians and say Yes we completely screwed up, we are sorry and in future we will revert to a policy of appointing competent senior technocrats to executive positions and as MEC  instead of incompetent talking heads and politicians.    Council will argue policies and priorities but no politician of friend of politician will run any department.
