- AfriForum’s documentary, Running dry - A nation on the brink, which deals with the current state of affairs.
South Africa is facing a water crisis that is exacerbated by the fact that this water scarce country must regularly contend with the pollution of natural water sources. Meanwhile citizens’ water security is threatened by the prevalence of unsafe drinking water and frequent interruptions in water supply, while some citizens don’t have access to clean drinking water. However, AfriForum is not going to stand back and watch this situation turn towards disaster.
Apart from political power, I would love to see a similar documentary on the effect load shedding has on the water system. No electricity, no water.
Lay charges against ANC in the world court for poisoning its people. Through corruption and theft and bad management thelast 30 years. Sue them through w court.
Agree. I have been on the side of the ANC for a long time but clearly they have failed. Totally failed.
What a Sad South Africa
No matter how bad things are, when Afriforum releases a new documentary it’s a good day
I thought you were gonna say, no matter how bad things are, it's worse in south africa.
This will cost human lives and all other types of repercussions.
BEE MUST BE REMOVED. the best equip person for the job. STOP CORRUPTION
You should of said WEE MUST BE REMOVED during segregation
Why are you hoarding information? You live here too, teach the people.
@@MinusMedleythey seem 2 b "unteachable". 45 years in various industries in Africa has taught me that.
@@user-ez9en7vk2z Bad teachers exist, we may have just found one...
We must get the people with the knowledge in the right posts in all the relevant departments. If people do not do their job fire them.
Incompetence brought about by BEE and EE.
And now they want water recipients decided on BEE criteria now as well. Stop this misappropriation of resources that belong to all of us.
No, it's far more nefarious than incompetence. The infrastructure that enables democracy and progress is under deliberate attack.
@@TommyMarxable Attack? From who?
@@yellowtapemeasure3741 anti-constitutionalists, I'd sound like a conspiracy theorist if I tried to explain it. Watch Thabo Mbeki's lectures, he articulates it quite well.

Dankie Afriforum, julle is ons groot hoop vir n oplossing vir die water probleem in SA. Dankie vir julle omgee vir ons mense. Net buurtwagte ons gemeenskap se vuiligheid verseker, glo julle sal planne begin wat n oplossing bied vir die gene wat sukkel om skoon water in hulle buurt te kry. Sterkte met die groot uitdagings wat nog voorlê
Ek is betalende lid vir jare, hulle met Solidariteit moet ANC WERELD HOF TOE VAT DIT RAAK TE LAAT VIR KLA EN KLA
I met someone in jhb who worked for the water board he told me 3 years ago problem not electricity it's water.
Both?
Always blaming something in the past. Never themselves.
Always looking for something to blame! Never doing what they can to take responsibility
There is no water crisis in South Africa!!!
The crisis has passed!!!
It is a water disaster!!!!!
Thank goodness I left South Africa in 1999.
The people that have the toughest time in South Africa are those who have absolutely nothing.
It is sad to see.
SA is not as bad . Soon all those who have to return WHILE to SA. It's the government that is incompetent. We do not had a water crisis. Government must just clean up the water and put thd correct stuff in place.
God is in control and not a government
I’m also glad you left. You sound brittle in the head. Don’t need men like that here. This is still the best country in the world , despite all our problems.
What are you talking about man? I am enjoying South African wine right now here in Europe

Well there we have it folks! The disaster is also over. Thanks to geoms6263 for this amazing update
Nice one! Very informative
The Majority of the Nation voted and keep voting for the ANC and its Minions, this is also a Testominy of the total lack of Intelligance and Rational - on each of those voters and let then suffer , just heartbreaking that the minority are the real sufferers in the Majorities concept of a Democracy.
Haha stop playing victim
They employed people who have not a clue what they had to do.... what a mess!!! How on earth!!!!😫😫😫😫
I'm inspired!
SHARED ACROSS ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS!👍👍👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thankfully Tyla is also bringing global awareness to the Water situation in South Africa
Hoekom was dit nie voor 94 so gewees nie dit was als reg waar le die probleem 😂😂
Voor 94, the government only accommodated the minority
Die miljoene "immigrante" wat net inkom en inkom.... en nie betaal nie.....😢😢😢😢
Yet people wash cloths in the clean rivers were just down stream others drink it, suerly weve passed this type of behaviour
De-politicize municipalities.
Do away with party politics at a municipality level.
Run them as a business, appointing the best people - not race quota based, but expertise and reputation based.
Maybe then there can be progress.
BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz would be the first to complain 😆
Run it as a business means pricing for profit. Bad idea. What? Ensure that the poorest have no access at all cause they cannot pay. Bad plan.
I have been running my own water plant since 2011. My water consumption is 9 kl per month. This means that I use 300 lit a day.
Surely in times of drought the dams should be dug deeper,the top soil is valueble too farmlands,why isnt it done.
We want action! Now!
The root of the pollution is lack of service delivery, to collect the waste in the township and squatters camps , waste to energy will help to combat this as 1 x ton of plastics waste produces 1 MW Energy , It has started in South Africa. First waste to energy production creating hundreds of jobs. Adding to that it can provide waste heat to sewage plant to make the digesters work, waste solids are then consumed into energy. IPP is the only way.. red tape has to get out the way.
But it's like Ford....
I manage a micro water supply system. From past experience I see the problem as an inability to properly transfer and retain past experience.
Rotten municipalities and poverty and unemployment..if you're in the water and sanitation game, you'll know how these 3 elements are the MAJOR issues..plus the top directionless dogs at national level
I vote that BEE caused this too
If the right person is in charge. These things that is of basic importance will be sorted. And the people should also start cleaning up their surroundings.
the symptompts are there. How can we help, because this problem needs all od us.
Public also needs to be informed on how to use water resources correctly. (there are people who think water comes from a tap)
Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment - the main cause
Why don't you work with bbbee instead of trying to demonize it
@@tevinmemla470
Country is flooded with qualified individuals sitting at home, complying with BEE is a threat to their monopoly, nothing else.
They always blame the government, always vague, with no one providing names. If that doesn't happen how will the population intervene?
Couple months back there was a recall of "white" retired Eskom engineers to fix the problems, but they refuse to train anyone else to take over, what sort of stupidity is that?
So true. Never in history has the lack of skill or ability to add value been so successfully monetized by a group via BEE.
Visited friends in the mid 90s who lived in south Africa, very beautiful country, I recently visited and I could not believe what I was seeing, what happened, I literally cut my 3 week trip short to 10 days, constantly no electricity or waiting for generators to start, half the places had no running water, God bless
All *criminality* needs to be Thoroughly investigated ! ! *Dept. of corrections is a VERY GOOD Portfolio for mr. P. Groenewald*
They are going to be busy with that for the next 50 years always looking into it and nothing is been done by it
We need to do this, we need to do that...
Who is "we"?
And nothing will happen.
Always the collective. No single person accountable.
Why do people think there is no consequences for being a bad parent!
Africa should know the best of all, because of all the minerals that were dug up from the ground and exported these minerals globally! Gold, diamonds, platinum, bauxite, colored gemstones, iron ore, precious metals, and uranium has to be dug up from the earth's crust, which makes the crust thinner so that extreme heat will rise. All countries have these minerals, and each are digging massively, removing the earth's crust, and making the crust thinner! A world on the brink - Running Dry!
Well I did data capturing for Blue and Green drop for several municipalities of a province in South Africa. When I requested information from the municipality and the company that had to collect the samples there was no data written down for three years. Which either means the data was lost and new samples were never taken or the work was never done.
One cannot claim to be managing something when nothing is measured. The concept of measurement is only relevant when the Mayor peruses the selection of luxury German SUVs from the catalogues of BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. Other than that, measurement remains a colonial concept.
@@yellowtapemeasure3741jis what utter nonsense you are talking about. My statement is not a claim it's a fact as this was one of the projects I had to work on for a previous engineering firm I worked for. By the way measurements is not colonial, it's pure science and physics concept being done across the world. Your communist ideas is not going to take you anywhere and has nothing to do with South Africa's water concerns.
I agree. Don't make the system overly complicated,so it can work well with minimal tech inputs. It may not be so efficient but much more robust.
Build it and they will come, dam it and it will fill,water is life.
Same in the UK,shareholders are getting huge dividends,while we have human feaces in the rivers.
🤣 yeah ...sure blame ol Jan...yeah right 🤣!!!!
For me the problem is the BEE, its the entitlement, its the ...
You the problem
@@tevinmemla470 I'm OK with your perception of what has caused the country and all its infrastructure to fall apart. I like to call a spade a spade and to not lie to myself about what caused all these problems. You will die of hunger while "owning the land". Have fun, I won't stand it your way.
I myself have applied many times to rand water and municipal jobs to work in the water sector. I am a registered and licensed plumber but I think it is because of my race that I have not been considered for the available positions. I do think that I can make a difference with clear thinking and action
EE, BEE and cadre deployment trumps meritocracy. ANC before country. Sadly these are the values of our so-called leaders, starting right at the very top.
I'm facing the same issue with sewage blockage and completely agree that our management system is flawed. How can we, as a Black community, collaborate with you to change this situation? We can't work in isolation; unity is key. GNU should be part of the solution, but we must also tackle crime, poverty, and corruption to effectively address the sewage problem.
BEE more Alles op
Ja!!! Ons is in n baaaaie groot gemors!!😮😮😮
Prof Turton estimated it would cost around R1 TRILLION to fix this. Can they raise that sort of money? Can they properly control the money and tender processes? If they do not fix this NOW, it will cause anarchy like SA has never seen before. Starting in Gauteng .
It's safer to drink out your toilet........
Privatization of service provision sounds to be the agreed answer. Can (legally) local government allow this? Want to allow (lost of income and fewer employees) privatization? I agree: lets work on: Allowing operation and maintenance to be undertaken by communities. Service Delivery Agreements need to be put in place! Amendment of the municipal tariff structure is critical! I currently pay double = 1x Municipal Fees + 1x Home Owners Association levies. This is not a sustainable situation.
When you leave these people in charge of their own affairs , the outcome is 100% guaranteed chaos.
Every...single....time.
All talk no do
Lets blame apartheid😂.... that one lady hinted towards it when she said some had water and some didnt👀
👍🤣👍
Toxic water = no life
Moenie warrie nie die "GNU" gaan ons kom rescue.........
🤣 right 🤣!!!!
ANC, DA, IFP, PA, GOOD, PAC, VF+ is 👌🏿
Haha,, nog sakke om vol onverdiende geeld te mak. Die parlementbanke en verniet alle dinge....!?! Karre ,vol mae, manne om hulle op te pas........
Nou 10 partye wat lekker gaan leef en baklei IN die parlement!
Do you have rainwater tanks available in S.A.? Big polyethelyne ones. Catch your own drinking water and be independent as possible from administrative incompetence and corruption at all levels.
So now, was the pragmatic Prof Thurton 'lured' to Australia, or was he 'pushed' by disconcerting circumstances in SA? He moved to Perth a few weeks ago. 🇦🇺 🪃🦘
Bad news given via a piece with great production value.
Even here in germany the people dont understand the importance of water. Else we would do many more to secure our future water reserves.
Ek Andries van der Merwe as 'n Plumber met nog trots in wat ek doen,
is hier vir my land in die groot kriesis wat ek al van 2016 begin voorspel het...
This is imperative to understand - the church and South Africa (more than 2/3's) have made their 2024 choice - they have chosen leaders (ANC, DA, EFF, MK and the like) who support and condone the murder of unborn babies and who support and condone sexual immorality (amongst other atrocious anti-biblical morals).
Consequently, both the offending church, (individual and corporate), along with the nation, will suffer the dire consequences over the ensuing years. My conviction however is that those children of God who resisted the temptation to vote for the above-mentioned offending parties and similar, will experience the grace of God during the very trying and ensuing years.
Intelligence crisis more like it.
My in-laws live in Verulam, Dawncrest KZN. They are lucky if they get water every 12 days for about 3 hours. Decent respectable people struggling under a corrupt government 😢
I recently took a tour of some rural towns in that vicinity, as well as Gauteng, and I was shocked when town after town had no running water, and therefore no working ablution facilities. The people were apologetic, but explained that it was completely normal for them. Fortunately I managed to purchase a spade at a hardware store, and I was eventually able to perform bodily functions in some suitable bushes. As I wiped my backside with the toilet paper that I purchased at the local Spar, I considered how the ANC Government Ministers (and Municipalities) are wiping their backsides with The Constitution's Bill of Rights 😡
Too many humans on this planet.
Remove competancy and replace It with corruption.
I hope SA can last another 5 years until all state departments can be run by DA.
I didn't hear anything about rampant corruption,
Ai toggie
Why why why don't they address population growth????? That's the absolute upstream problem
that would mean taking accountability and that is not an african thing.
Too late.
Last I was there, there were dead birds on the beaches by Dolphin hotel, as Dunoon sewer flows out there via the Vlei 👀🤡👽👽😱☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
THEY 😂DROPPED THE BALL.
No maintainence and corruption..33 years of it!!
As jy ernstig is , ek sal jou help ..... maar jy moet luister , en ek sal die vloed bring .....
And now what.....???
Worldwide forest destruction.. Central Africa..AMAZON..
Cancelling an audit…..
Ai Lezi Kaalnecks Ziya Dika Maan Ai
Too many people coming to the country
71 iq level = fokol
Ek kort ook water
09:00 define cricis. 😢
Stop chemtrails
Seniqalile futhi
Finger pointers, not problem solvers.
People love to hate on BEE - instead of coming together and using it for good
Show us one country where Marxism / socialism is successful. No good can ever come from collectivism.
How do you come together, when there are still policies that exclude people because of their skin color in this so called non racial government?
pass an AREA OF INTERST COMPETENCE TEST BEFORE RUNNING FOR ELECTION FOR ALL POLITICIANS.....are govts stupid or the public ??
Daar is niks fout met subtitels nie, laat mense hulle eie taal praat volgende keer.
That man is so old that if he lived in America he'd be working at McDonald's or Walmart
Los hulle, laat dit verval. Sorg vir jou eie want hierdie saamelewing het verval.
BEE and DEI policies are the problem!
Teach the people permaculture and how to recycle water and filter it.
South Africa, a Communist country.: But they like to travel is refugees to u k, Europe, Canada and America. 4 a free ride, healthcare benefits.
And anything else deliverals can get them.
In America, we have the nobility act of 1800s. It's still on the books.
I blame god.
Viva ANC
😭
Maybe they can ask Israel for assistance. LOL!
In Canada we are two steps behind South Africa, our melting glaciers are a byproduct of colonialism’s failure - the Doctrine of Discovery’s insistence that the Americas were the the new property of European powers could have foreseen we’d come to this.
Overpopulation is the problem, not water.
Pity...Israel could have helped South Africa solve water problem but their love of cruel Hamas terrorists...
