Comment: The Cape Town and Western Cape DA governments have really disgraced themselves with regard to their handling of a crisis that could easily have been anticipated (and was - refer to Johan Maytham's ever-increasing anxiety on-air over the past two years. And refer also to Ernest Sonnenberg's blithe reply to Maytham: "Don't worry - the rains will come". They didn't). The only bright aspect of this is that the situation would probably be a lot worse if it were the ANC screwing things up instead.
