FR threads for the past 6 months report severe water shortage in S Africa.
The water shortages existed mostly in the south of the country. My mother in law had water trucked in to fill her pool. Recent rains have brought some relief.
I know that currently about 50 S Africans are working as laborers at fish farming in Mississippi. They have reputations as being hard workers. The US govt gave them no support or breaks (unlike most temp workers) nor did they expect any.
S Africans would be productive employees if ever allowed to enter the US—but not likely since most that would seek such an opportunity to better their situation would be whiteys.
