Cape Town water crisis: 'My wife doesn't shower any more'
People have been forced to queue for extra water to top up their rations in Cape Town
The BBC's Mohammed Allie is one of millions of people trying to stave off Day Zero - the day the taps in the South African city of Cape Town will run dry. Here, he tells us what life is like when you have just 50 litres of water a day.
My wife does not use the shower any more. Instead, she boils about 1.5 litres of water and mixes it with about a litre of tap water to have her daily wash while the rest of us catch the slow running water in a bucket for re-use in the toilet cistern.
As for flushing, which in the past would have used around six litres at a time, we have adopted the popular slogan: "If it's yellow let it mellow and if it's brown flush it down."
Like most residents of Cape Town, my household of four has had to change our habits to conserve water. A bucket and jug have now become essential tools for me and my children when taking a quick two-minute shower.
In the height of summer, it doesn't feel like much.
In Mohammed Allie's house, daughter Khadeeja helps fill the toilet cistern with recycled water - while he drinks water from a container A severe drought has forced the city's municipality to limit water consumption to 50 litres per person per day in an effort to delay what has become known as Day Zero, which has been set for 12 April, when the water supply will be shut.
It isn't easy to reduce to just 50 litres a day per person

They’ve punished themselves with their own hate.
Sounds like a chithole.
Yup, and they want to confiscate the land of white farmers and turn South Africa back into a shithole.
Ah, the Jews and their water, eh?
You know who invented Astroturf? The Jews!!! - George Costanza as Donald O’Brien
The Jews hate grass! They always have.

South Africa is in a race to see what it can be most like first: Mad Max, Dune, or The Killing Fields.
What California will be like when the feds cut off their access to water from out-of-state.
Looks like they’re making Africa Africa again.
Now, what with the anti-Semitism,no-show jobs for blacks, putting well connected ANC blacks in charge of the water stuff, they truly ARE going to be without potable water.
Well that’s what happens when you put the Amish in charge
Kick the white farmers off their productive land and see what you get, “equality and starvation”
...”If it’s yellow let it mellow and if it’s brown flush it down”...
That sounds strangely racist.
Muslims: destroying civilization since the days of Mohammed.
They could dig a beach well:

I don’t think the ANC is any different than non-Amish violent Socialists.
Mohammedans didn’t destroy South Africa. Black racist communists destroyed South Africa.
Or go swimming
Ouch. You’re right.
“...turn South Africa back into a shithole.”
Shouldn’t take much effort to do that.
Might make a great hat
