    I'm watching from the comfort of my home. It truly takes a brave soul to do what you do. It is highly appreciated. We are merely passing through this world, and it does not belong to us. It did not even belong to our ancestors. Hence, it is still here for us to appreciate and look after for the ones who are going to call us ancestors one day. Please keep your peace and appreciate God's creation.

    Hello from Australia, All that water going to waste, Don't understand why the Govt. is not
    trying to increase storage for Theewaterskloof dam, i drove past that dam a few yrs. ago at the height of the CPT drought, the dam looked like a desert. Population explosion means the Govt. needs to build more or increase Dam Storage capacity.

    Thank you for letting me see this dam that i so long wanted to see sinc 1984 -86 when Helen Z , said when finished cape town areas with other dams in the region will never run dry, because that dam will fill them and we beat only just ,just day zero and since still payind a Levy with water enough to help other areas in South Africa?????

    It's amazing how cape town is flooding and our stats says dam close to 100% full ... what's the purpose of the release dam if not 100% full ,tommorw we facing water restrictions and paying extra water levies on our rates and taxes

    • @roylyle8222
      @roylyle8222 Před měsícem +3

      It's a river before it's a dam, so when you build a dam you generally always let some water flow through to continue to sustain life downstream of the dam. Also farmers downstream need to fill their smaller dams. Hopefully that makes sense.

    Remember when Cape Town had a water crisis because of Global Warming and it was going to get worse? What happened to that? I remember videos of them releasing water back then too, but I'm starting to think that crisis was man made.

That when people talk about climate change, they trying to sell you something, just like they tried to sell a pandemic vaccine for a virus that 99% survivable. Don't trust this DA/ANC collition, because the bad management of infrastructure is on purpose to keep influence of Southern Africa.

      Are you of Khoi or San descent? No? Sorry, not your ancestors. Wrong history/political lessons. Black Africans migrated from further up north. Of course the Xhosa language has the click sounds of the San & Khoi...
