hakuna ma-Lorry za Clean water? na Ken Tank kibao huko? But really... this has been coming. In 2013 I had the pleasure to go to cape town and decided to do a trip on Table mountain. When I came across this thing

I overheard a conversation. The mzungu man (hand on the right) was talking to that lady (purple and blue shirt) about the water situation. He said maji itakwisha in less than 5 years coz people have not thought of what to do with cape towns growing population. It's really sad that something that people were discussing in 2013 came to be. I actually detected some racial undertone in his messaging but really our people need to style up (regardless of whether Cape Town is under DA or ANC)

Does it mean that Nairobi and Mombasa are not considered major cities? People go for weeks without drinking water in this two cities and no one gives an eff about it.

Is there absolutely no way, that Ocean water can be made palatable? With all the technology, advancements and resources at the human disposal?

Africans... throwing money at a problem and hoping it will go away!! So you think ukiwa umeketi hapo umeFigure out a solution to Cape Town's water problem by saying... si they 'desalinate'

Table mountain ni huko juu ya milima(flats) where the coloreds were thrown to during apartheid? Concentrated poverty-there are no jobs just gang violence. Under apartheid the coloreds were a bit privileged so I guess ANC does not have the time for them. Siasa mbaya maisha mbaya.

Anyway Nairobi also has the same water challenge. In the 1820's there was a decade long drought which made the Kambas become long distance traders. If such a drought recurred then Nairobi would similarly run out of water.
