ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- In 2017, and in preparation for the worst as Cape Town headed towards its hot summer season, and with the overall intention to drop demand, the City of Cape Town rolled out a disaster-management plan, the end goal of which was to still be able to provide its citizens with water even if its dams ran dry – the notorious “Day Zero” scenario and the name given to the City's public awareness and phased-in activation campaign.
- A leading international expert in environmental and natural resources law and policy, based at the Stanford University Woods Institute for the Environment in California in the USA, Professor Barton Thompson has spent time in Cape Town lecturing on water policy and is acquainted with both the city and its water crisis.
- Cape Town has just been through one of the worst droughts in the region's history and yet, through the collective efforts of its citizens, the city is back in business – thanks largely to the City of Cape Town's municipal leadership and its ability to mobilize its people towards sustained conservative usage.
