I had a buddy called Mike out in I think Big Bay. He was heavy into kite surfing. I've only been there a couple of times so I don't know Blaauwberg that well. Okay I did visit the Blue Peter pub a couple of times but that is just a blur. https://steemitimages.com/DQmY1hiBj62DJDdRYascv4G9PVaWEUBHjUcdskX7X4sdeNn/Steemit%20Drink%20only%2020H%20GIF.gif I just googled the hospital so I see where that is. I woke up this morning to see that my starting delegation steem has gone. Time for another strategy again. I left in 2007 as I had had enough of the crime. Car stolen, business cleaned out and mugged. There is crime here but I have yet to witness any in my 10 years.  I also spent 3 years in the UK and 1 year in Malta. Otherwise no complaints. How's the water shortages effecting you? We have tons here. Cheers.

I'm not far from both Big Bay and Blue Peter. Perhaps 3-4 kms. I don't find the crime bad here. I left Johannesburg partly because of the filth and crime.

The drought is a worrying issue. We've cut back to the bare minimum. I collect three buckets from the shower to use them to flush, but I've been doing that before the restrictions started. I wish other people had, but people always think it is someone else's problem until it isn't. Then they panic.

I'm close enough to the ocean, so that at worst we will have to drive down to the beach to get saltwater LOL! Hopefully, we will have an unusually wet summer.

The world is supposed to be heading into the worse of a mini ice age cycle. It would be interesting to see how this will effect SA. Isn't the influx of people from other parts of SA also adding to the water problem? It's probably Jacob's fault as he probably insists on his swimming pool being full at all times LOL. His 6 elephants need their daily splash. Or is it 7? Hope things improve soon dude. PS What will drive you insane faster? Living in SA or drinking salt water? Have a great day.

Well, it going to be interesting. They (the ANC) told him to step down, and I don't think he will. The damage is done so the worse it gets for the ANC the better. I rather hope he doesn't step down and it has to get nasty. People only learn the hard way.

We would have water delivered to certain areas for drinking when they turn off the taps. The salt water will be for flushing the loo etc. which isn't a good idea, but neither is bad hygiene LOL!

The problem here is politics, and as you mentioned, the rapid population growth of CT. The rainfall has been diminishing, but that is not the only issue. The DA didn't want to lose voters so they never pushed hard enough for the funds to sort it out. Now, it will bite them in the arse. Some are saying that they have deliberately let it get this bad to declare the region a disaster region so we CAN get the funds out of the ANC.

The ANC hates losing and especially the Western Cape, so they have tried every dirty trick in the book to make this province fail. It's STILL the best run province so that is say something.
