Climate change warning for WC was years ago, but no one considered it to be possible or as something far into the "future". As the population grew over past 20 yrs, the council should have planned accordingly.  Central government should start building a tunnel from the Gariep where it flows into Atlantic to CT, and collect the potential diamonds as well(!) to pay for the project.
How dare the city of CT deny farmers their access to water: they provide food for SA and are responsible for income from export, tourists flocking to WC and, above all, work for thousands of people.
Does Ms Limburg have any experience of water affairs, distribution etc?? 
De Lille (old PAC member!) and Smith's differences and power games may destroy  CT and the WC!!
