Out of Water, but Not out of Hope



    USA Today’s coverage of the ongoing crisis in Cape Town focuses on getting first hand accounts of people having to learn to deal with the extreme water shortage. Residents like Dawood detail how they are learning to deal with the lack of water in their daily lives. “If we need an extra shower, we use a facecloth, If our hair is dirty, we use dry shampoo — it works quite well.”. Other residents contemplate dealing with the situation differently, such as Westley Byrne who told USA Today “he considered leaving Cape Town for a bit", but as of yet has remained. As of this article “Day Zero” was pushed back to June 4th, giving some residents hope, but without an influx of water the situation is not likely to improve.
