Meanwhile in Cape Town, Mayor Patricia de Lille has said she plans to ask for Cape Town to be declared a disaster area as the dams feeding Cape Town are currently at a level of only 33%. Since the last 10% can’t be used… it means Cape Town only has 23% left, which De Lille says means “we have 121 days left of usable water in our dams”. Rains are expected during the winter season.
