Reminds me of a movie I watched in the 70s or 80s where staff working for a private water company lived across the bridge from the office in 3 minute staff flats all controlled and surveilled 24/7.
Remember the DA Law Enforcement restricting people at Newlands Spring during the water cuts. But when we hiked up Table Mountain, the 5 dams were full! And with water meters, they can now switch off your water to a trickle.
The danger is in "privatizing" = corporatizing our water supply. Foreign corporations and shareholders with a motive to minimise costs and maximise profits. A very bad idea when applied to an essential public utility service.
20 years ago, I knew this was going to happen. I brought my kids up, respecting and saving every drop of water. I told them, the day would come, when there would be war over water. Everyday is spent doing water management, recycling, storing water, in my house.
In Robertson after great rains and "full" dams at Sep 2024 the whole of town is on water restrictions from Tomorrow. Only 2 hours water for a garden no car wash....hectic. Drove up to the dam....still full
Here in my little town, we've been having trouble with our water supply for over 3 yrs now. We have water for anything from 1 - 2 hrs of running water p.d. Some days no water! We get our water from a borehole and the pump packs up every now and again, yet apparently there is a new pump that needs to be installed. My house looks like a water farm. There are 5 l containers and 25 l containers all over. Will it ever change? Nope!
I live in Fourways, Joburg and our water situation is beyond ridiculous! Very often we have a 3/4 day outage and then a 1/2 day fine until the next bad pipe fix job explodes and wastes good water for at least 8 or 9 hours until fixed. Reason: continuous development in the area which has all but completely collapsed the system!! Quality is ok. 😢
This level of control is just crazy. I dont know, the level of education out there regarding control over water is pittyful. Far too many people rely on the government in SA. That's the problem. It's the same reason why ANC get into power every time. Just a complete lack of education and critical thinking is going to lead this country to its demise. And it will be easy for the SDG agenda to take place and rapidly.
There is a group of people only interested in power profit and control, keep focused on your connection with the creator and work hard at making them irrelevant
I have four points. 1 Our Problem in South Africa is the democracy based on the majority. 2 As such even the majority of the silent m(s)asse(a)s is ruled by a minority. 3 There are enough reasons that we can have our government declared imcompetent by whatever meand it take. 4 Then we need to compose sn interim government base on equal representation of the population groups i.e white black etc. To get things restored.
Why must Des and his family sacrifice their lives once more, if we refuse to do our part? No, stupid people must suffer and those who fffked around and second guessed them, when they were serious, will find out now for themselves. Des and his familiy has already done MORE THAN ENOUGH, but the lack of support and "wait and see" attitude, to make things bearable for them, has unfortunately passed and now its our turn to SHOW them how we plan to support them.
Since 2024, everyone in my circle, are buying water, to drink..cook and use as potable.. You'll see when you shop..people pushing trolleys with empty 5l and 20l bottles, to fill up.. Western Cape
Problem starts up stream in Villiersdorp with lack of sanitation in the informal sector. All waste flushes into Theewaterskloof Dam that you ultimately consume.
Infrastructure here in Glen Anil near Durban North loses umpteen amounts of water through failing infrastructure. Water literally going down the (stormwater) drain
My thoughts on why the "bills/laws" are passed at the end of a year "cycle", is because its the most evil time of the year. Understanding Covenant Calendar goes into depth on this subject.
Interesting as Skidmarks aka Briekmerke channel has been warning people for ages about water. Im still busy trying to set up a stable platform for my small 260l Ecotank & find a way to keep the water drinkable with a copper coil. Have to fill from municipal water at present
We started warning people in 2020 during aphysical tour across the country in meetings with over 10000 people face to face. Many people took their cues from that information.

There is no shortage of water, just a greed problem
greed and ineptitude to fix infrastructure

Words I never want to hear again "sustainable, smart,
And “NORMAL” is another one 🤦🏼♀️

The good old Hegelian dialect: problem, reaction, solution. Can't say the squirrels aren't learning from Onkel Klaus et al.
when we borrow, we must repay. How come when gov borrows we have to repay that as well? Asking for a few million friends.
Good question 😅
Every thing ANC touches turns to shit
Grateful for my 100m borehole & water storage.
Barberton has a huge water problem, I supply drinking water to a few families.

We are a resource that they want to control.
💯

I could never trust the GNU, so I am skeptical on this, it'll be a matter of wait and see.
If you wait too long, you'll never live to see the outcome. PREPARE YOURSELF,!
@anettetruter8863 hi there, join as a channel member and get more info and perspective.
Have a great day!
I think Lauren coined a new word.. tenderisation 😂😅😊
Why do we pay rates an d tax....time for a tax revolt....
Thanks for warning us.
I will say it again! WW111 is going to be about water!
The loan will not be repaid and China will own the project eventually!

On the bright side we have become more resilient but it's a huge inconvenience and the fact we pay tax but ger nothing in return is unacceptable.
The politicians never campaigned in elections to help the common people but only for a place at the feeding trough - my 2c wortg
Is it true smart meters are causing illness from their emf output?
The smart meter output is tiny. It is the monitoring you need to be concerned over.

Shocking state of affairs
At this stage we don't have problems with water....thank you for the broadcast
No we have a government problem and that goes for all the parties. All different wings of the same bird 😊❤
More dams should be built instead of theses idiots in government wasting our taxpayers money on absolute scheit!
Grants for all the non tax payers😊

All done on purpose. As long as we let them they will carry on 😊❤

In ons dorpie in die Vrystaat ook. Kry net water elke tweede oggend vir 2 tot 3 ure in die oggend.
Time for a road show Des

Western Cape
Yes we have water only 3 hours per day
Where is this? 😢
Water in Sedgefield still good,
Borehole, thanks for explaining everything ❤❤
Agenda 2030
I live in Heidelberg, Western Cape, and we have big problems with both the quality of water here and the provision of it.

My nephew in Texas tells me they can only store 200l rain water, apparently in Australia zero atorage is allowed
Why?
@@Lientjie-ji1pc it's all about power profit and control
Easy, blow up the dam walls😂😂😂
Goodbye to private boreholes it seems
Hierdie wêreld van ons loop op sy kop😩😩😩😩😳😳😳😳😳🇿🇦🇿🇦
Guess who are to blame? It would be an insult to blame the 🦍 because they are more intelligent than you know who?

MidgeZA kan you give more information on the copper coil please
Sadly, 100% correct!
Time to say ,,,,,, STOP
