Section 27 of the constitution guarantees clean drinking water to all its citizens, if the government is not doing this they are in contravention of the act.
While Cape Town successfully avoided "Day Zero" through strict water restrictions and infrastructure improvements, this does not represent nationwide progress. Millions of South Africans still lack access to clean water, a constitutional right. The crisis highlights inequities in resource management and governmental accountability. Cape Town's success cannot overshadow the broader systemic failure to address water access for underserved communities. The disparity underscores that local victories are insufficient without addressing the national water crisis comprehensively.

It only took 2 weeks of me continuously posting about section 27 in the constitution for you to pick it up.
