They should have gone with the Zulu King after the fall of Apartheid.

JOHANNESBURG — Lungile Khoza is at her wits' end. The mother of four has been without water at her home for three weeks, the kids are dehydrated and sick, and she can't run her small hair salon so she's losing money.
Khoza, 37, lives in Soweto, a sprawling township of Johannesburg, which is among the areas worst hit by a water crisis in the city. She says there are sometimes government trucks distributing water, but it often runs out before you make it to the front of the line.
Then she says, the water seems to cause stomach problems for her family, but — to add insult to injury — she can't even boil it because she's often also without electricity.
Khoza doesn't hesitate when asked who she blames for the current crisis.
"Our government is failing us, our government is so failing us," she says. "It's not getting better, it's getting worse."
Johannesburgadvertises itself as "a world-class African city," but a breakdown in basic services has many of its more than 5.5 million residents seething. About half of its population has been without water or suffering water shortages for weeks. With a national election set for May, South Africa's governing party could be punished for it at the polls.

everything worked fine until the AFC took over running the nation. Now why is that, I wonder?
Can we send them our blacks and the illegal aliens to help get all the infrastructure up and running good?
Israel offered to build a desalinization plant, but they turned down the offer.
When all the smart working people move to space the same thing will happen to the world under Klaus Schwab the World Enslavement Forum
Good thing they got rid of whitey.
Otherwise, who know what would have happened?

***The mother of four has been without water at her home for three weeks,***
Reminds me of an “OUTRAGIOUS!” scene in Lawrence of Arabia. Now how did they solve that....Maybe South Africa needs to do the same.
Isn’t it great to have leaders so in touch with the working class? To bad they’re not in touch with how to keep infrastructure up and running.
I thought Israel and South Africa got along well. I remember when they were accused of setting off a A-bomb they were working on in the atmosphere decades ago.
I said “Accused of”. It might have been lightning.
For a peek at the same modus operandi closer to home, look no further than the Jackson, Mississippi water system. Jackson as we all know is run by the descendants of George "Kingfish" Stevens.
Thanks for the tip. Added to my reading list.
Johannesburg is not very different from the big, Democrat-controlled cities here in the US - where they embezzle and waste monty that should have gone to infrastructure (especially water- which seems to be the most common failure).
Because the ANC are and ALWAYS HAVE BEEN a bunch of STINKING COMMIES and VERY corrupt!
They have every right to run their country into the ground.
You mean like the DEMS and RINOS here?
Only if we allow it.
Jefferson: People get the government they deserve.
All the smart South Africans left, for better conditions in the USA.
Between corruption and the inability to shut off access for non-payment, South Africa’s water and power infrastructure has been deprived of basic maintenance for years. The system is finally beginning to fall apart. Steady state may resemble Zimbabwe, given that the opposition alternative in upcoming elections is even more left-wing. Best case may end up being Nigeria, whose economy is propped up by oil exports.
