More info on "Water Zero" in Cape Town, SA

in #waterzero6 years ago

Further information to what I posted earlier about the massive "Water Shortage" in Cape Town, South Africa.

TAKE NOTE WORLD! THIS IS A TEST

This is a testing ground on the globalization of water ownership/control by the Corporations.

Cape Town’s Underground Tunnels: A place of sweet water
Taking back the Mother City’s water heritage

Sort:  

put the government in charge of the desert and soon there will be a shortage of sand.
put them in charge of south africa...and a shortage of....
Water?
in the TROPICS?

that takes REAL SKILL!!!

lol - or Beginner's luck!

cronyism aka cadreship is the politics that addresses the needs of the party to stay in power - so they haven't seen the need to do much else

recent report suggests that Lesotho will soon face a water crisis too. A national approach ought to now be in place for power and water. I believe it is a shortage but not one that was unavoidable.

Cronyism can not address a problem that requires vision.

The success of ESKOM under Apartheid is best categorized under inventions born out of the mother of necessity some of them worked others did not survive changes in political stage (eg. SASOL petrol from coal). The apartheid regime was propped firmly in place by the same types of cronyism as we see today. The nonsense has simply changed hands and the new cronies are keeping th e old in place - one just needs to google the word "steinhoff" to see how true that is.

Cronyism is a disease of parasites with one hand washing (or is that kissing or scratching) the other's back ;-)

Definitely a story I've been following, a story of things to come? Or maybe we should be investing in water instead of crypto's? Or is there a blockchain out there for water?!?!?
