Small South African fishing town's R9-million solar-powered desalination plant offline for months

A farmer living near the small fishing town of Witsand in the Western Cape has alleged that its state-of-the-art desalination plant is frequently going offline and no longer uses any of its solar power.

The Witsand Solar Desalination Plant (WSDP) became Africa's first solar-powered desalination facility at its launch in December 2018.

De Kock alleged that representatives of the municipality had given several unsatisfactory explanations for why the solar plant was not operating, including that its batteries had been stolen.
“There were never batteries there,” he said. “The problem is that there is too much corrosion on the solar plant’s components because it is right next to the river.”

You can't make this s**t up.
This country is not running on auto-pilot, there is no pilot. At this rate we'll soon be hiring Cubans so they can ask Orania for help.

I bet the religious zealots the FF+ would fix it.

A plumber could do a better job.

Is having white supremacy in your water worth it though?

The DA attracts the kind of man who looks the same no matter their orientation.
