NATIONAL NEWS - Day Zero is coming closer and closer, with the day that Cape Town taps run dry now being put at 12 April.
With the city’s feeder dams sitting at just 27.2% of capacity, there are fewer than 80 day’s till the water runs out.
Western Cape Premier Helen Zille on Monday met with National Disaster Risk Management officials in preparation of the day taps will be turned off.
There’s been lots of rhetoric, but no specific details of exactly what will happen on Day Zero.
Premier Helen Zille has written to President Jacob Zuma calling for the declaration of a national disaster, saying that the drought in the Western Cape has escalated “from a threat to an imminent crisis”.
