NATIONAL NEWS - Measures are in place to mitigate the impact that Cape Town’s water crisis will have on schools.
Western Cape Premier Helen Zille and the provincial Education Department on Wednesday presented their plans for 16 April.
“Currently there’s a 60% chance that Day Zero will happen and we can’t ignore it. However, we can bring those chances down.”
The city faces running out of water entirely by 16 April, but the department believes that Day Zero can and will be avoided.
The department says that it has surveyed the needs of schools extensively over the past six months.
