Under educating? Was Whitey keeping them down, or were they already down?
Don't worry, these guys have it...

Huge icebergs could be towed from Antarctica to Cape Town in a bid to solve South Africa's worst drought in a century.
Marine salvage experts are floating the plan to tug the icebergs to the region after its seen the worst water shortage in decades.
Salvage master Nick Sloane told Reuters news agency he was looking for government and private investors for a scheme to guide huge chunks of ice across the ocean, chop them into a slurry and melt them down into millions of litres of drinking water.
"We want to show that if there is no other source to solve the water crisis, we have another idea no one else has thought of yet," said Sloane, who led the refloating of the capsized Italian passenger liner Costa Concordia in 2014.

If we take all the ice from the polar caps, what will globull warming use to raise the sea levels?
The fact that they would have to get the tech from the Israelis.
Nothing.
You don’t pull. you drop in those super diesels in the rear and steer it.
The Boers made a point of undereducating the majority, and when they leave, they will take all the technically trained talent with them.
Remember, the vast majority of the population believes they can cure AIDS by raping a baby and that the bones of albinos contain gold...
Perhaps they could, but the much more wealthy gulf states looked into that prospect over 30 years ago and gave it the thumbs down.
Israel offered the S Africans help, and they turned it down.
What will happen instead is, people will be going crazy with thirst, probably nothing more serious than that, but the left wing partisan media shills and the good friends the left wing scum of the Earth will be blaming President Trump because he won’t do anything about (imaginary) AGW.
I remember that. Towing an iceberg. Something about ending up with a dangling tow line once it reached it’s destination.
What's the plan...."chop it into a slurry" ? This sounds like a challenge for what's his name.....Mr. Space X.
“Brewster’s Millions” is exactly what came to mind!
With all the supertankers sitting idle, just take one to Sitka Alaska and fill it up.
They already have the ‘filling ststion’
They should just get it from Wakanda...

A Labyrinth reference, nice.
But what about those poor polar bears?
How much does it cost to build a desalination plant?
It depends on several factors including source water, location, treatment process, and the size of the plant. Building a brackish water desalination plant usually costs less than that of a seawater desalination plant because brackish water is generally cleaner and contains less total dissolved salts (see Question 2, above). In 2007, $87 million was spent to build the Kay Bailey Hutchison brackish groundwater desalination plant in Texas. Design capacity of the KBH plant is 27.5 million gallons per day (MGD). The 2010 biennial report on seawater desalination projected that it will cost approximately $32 million to build a 2.5 MGD seawater desalination plant, and approximately $658 million to build a 100 MGD seawater desalination plant in Texas.
Additional information on the cost of desalination plants in Texas is available at Cost of Desalination in Texas

This is truly brilliantly hysterical.
Here I am thinking “why has no one thought of this before?”
But they have, indeed they have!
This must be the 30th time that the suggestion to tow an iceberg to some location to alleviate a water shortage has been made but the number of successful times that it has been accomplished to date is equal Alec Baldwin’s IQ.
“They’ve already proven that by allowing the water crisis to get as bad as it is, and by spurning Israeli offers of help.”
You’re 110% correct. South Africa is run by 50 IQ commie apes who can’t figure out how to operate a water plant.
