NATIONAL NEWS - Western Cape Premier Helen Zille says that she doesn't understand why national government doesn't want the private sector to help with the water crisis in Cape Town.
As Day Zero fast approaches, officials at different levels of government are scrambling to deal with the situation and disagreeing on how to tackle it.
Zille says that Water and Sanitation Minister, Nomvula Mokonyane is refusing to enlist the help of private-owned businesses.
She says that she's put politics aside in the interest of citizens.
"What we need to do, just as we did with the electricity crisis of two years ago, is build a new water economy that can grow the economy, that can create jobs, that can create lasting and cheaper solutions and that is what we're trying to do, to creat opportunities in this disaster."
