CAPE TOWN IN SOUTH AFRICA HAS BEEN DEALING WITH A SEVERE DROUGHT OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. RECENTLY WE COVERED THE STORY AND TALKED ABOUT IN GREATER DETAIL, BUT WE DO HAVE AN UPDATE THAT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A POSITIVE, BUT OVERALL, CAPE TOWN IS STILL DEALING WITH A DROUGHT THAT IS LIMITING THEIR WATER SUPPLY IN A SERIOUS WAY. SINCE THEY ARE CONSERVING WATER AND TAKING EXTREME MEASURES, THAT DAY HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK. HE HAS BEEN POSTPONED A LITTLE BIT. SO THEY CAN WASH LAUNDRY ONCE A WEEK WHICH DOESN'T SEEM THAT EXTREME, THAT IS KIND OF WHAT I ALREADY DO THAT ONE MINUTE AND A HALF FOR A SHOWER AND AGAIN, THEIR WATER IS LIMITED. 50 L A DAY PER PERSON. IF YOU ARE A FAMILY OF FOUR YOU CAN ONLY FLUSH THE TOILET ONCE A DAY. I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. THAT IS A DISASTER....
