South Africa has seen its fair share of water shortages over the last few months, and it’s more and more prevalent that something needs to be done. In KZN, certain parts have been without water for over 71 days. Just think about that for a second. Not a drop through their taps for over 2 months!
And in the Eastern Cape, Nelson Mandela Bay and Kouga Municipality have dry taps as well because of drought and extremely low dam levels.
So, the question is, what is the solution? You would think that in the 21st century, we would have infrastructure in place to assist with these water shortages. But instead, people are struggling to bathe, flush toilets and even cook! And while the communities have rallied together to help each other where possible, it’s still not good enough.
Gift Of The Givers CEO Imtiaz Sooliman recently sat down with TimesLive to share his views on the challenges experienced by all in South Africa.
“SA is a water deprived country, we don’t have enough water resources. We should have learnt that a long time ago.”
Plans to drill multiple boreholes in various schools, hospitals and clinics is their primary focus, to ensure that these have direct access to water when they need it most. But then there are also multiple plans for Jojo tanks to be supplied to communities in need. They really have been a great asset to South Africa in trying to help mitigate the challenges experienced by all.
But it’s time to take matters into your own hands. Ensure that the water shortages experienced don’t affect you. With a borehole machine, you can guarantee a flow of water when things get difficult. We have a range of borehole machines to assist with just that.
