But with the country in the grips of a severe drought and some of the country’s provinces having been declared disaster areas‚ extraordinary efforts needed to be taken to bring relief to communities.
“Water tankering‚ water restrictions‚ and finding new sources of water‚ especially by exploiting underground sources‚ are some of the efforts employed to reduce communities’ water challenges‚” Zuma added.

“We must continue to save water. We have no choice‚ the situation is serious and is affecting both households and our farming communities who are supposed to ensure food security in our country‚” he said.
