Travel back to the 90's and tell them not to put blacks in charge.

The water shortage in South Africa is solely down to incompetence and corruption - precisely what everyone expected when they ended apartheid and why large chunks of the whites and jews packed up and moved to Europe and Australia.

Precisely my point.

There is no practical solution because no one will address the actual issue - that issue being that blacks are now in charge of the country. Because of the incredible head start and still remaining Indian, Jewish and White populations, it's descent into Zimbabwe status will be slower and more prolonged, but it is still inevitble.

This is what you're up against.

What are you basing that assumption on?

South Africa has had the means to adequately address their water shortage at their disposal for years, have previously addresses their water shortages and comparable nations like Australia and Israel have easily and adequately handled the similar circumtances.

South Africa's water shortage is only an issue (like all of their infrastructure issues) because of rampant corruption and political incompetence - which has been a mainstay of Seff Afrikan politics ever since the end of Apartheid, and will remain front and center as they continue to decline into complete failure.

For more than three years they watched their dams running dry - their solution?

There is no practical solution. Because people like this refuse to address the actual issue.

Isn't the problem. They have a water shortage because they increaed the size of Cape Town's population by 50% in ten years without increasing their water supply AND diverted their own water supplies to the agricultural industry and refused to implement common place safe guards (like desalination plants) in case of a water shortage.

They have no water because South Africa is failing state run by corrupt and incompetent rulers and has been since the end of apartheid.
