WC comes in clutch once more

 

[ShaunSA]

That's nothing. KZN Premier donated a whole tank load of water to his missus!

 

[RedViking]

Where does all the plastic go. Durban beach?

Actually, WC is perpetuating the problem. KZN are like car guards: if you keep giving to them, they’re going to keep hanging around.

Good point. They are creating jobs to boot...

 

[Polymathic]

And they say Durban people are slow.

Amazing stuff from the best run province in SA!

No coincidence it is the only one run by the DA!

A little late but thanks?

And just a few years ago the ANC shills were screaming about how useless the WC was because it was running out of water...

He luckily bypassed shipping constraints thanks to his ABot membership...

Not gonna rob the KZN residents of much needed waters, but when I see "Gift of the Givers" in a sentence i raise an eyebrow.

Throughout this whole disaster in KZN, only the national gov and WC have been in the news by sending relief and teams to help. None of the other provinces...

Why? What did they do?

Leave it to a Gautenger to say something like this

lol

Where does all the plastic go. Durban beach?

Exactly.

It's recommended to drink at least 3 litres of water a day. So 333,333 people happy for one day.

Better than 666.666

I'd say you looking at 15L a day per household for drinking and cooking food. So you looking at around 66K households getting a days supply of water.

Yes. I wasn't going to go that far.

It's all great, but like @RedViking said. All that plastic may not be properly disposed of.

/dare I say that 1mil litres is just a drop in the ocean

No idea where the idea that donations should come per province comes from, people donate through many ways, for example my employer has a fund we donate to that will assist in KZN, churches also collects donations and other organisations in communities, it doesn't have to be consolidated per province.
