TAPS ARE RUNNING DRY. OFFICIALS ARE OUT OF TIME.

The water crisis in Kouga has just hit the RED ZONE. Reservoir levels have PLUMMETED to a catastrophic 20%, threatening to leave thousands of homes and businesses with nothing but dust and dirty, brown sludge coming from their pipes. This isn’t a warning—it’s an EMERGENCY.

Officials are now BEGGING residents to take two-minute showers and stop all non-essential use. “Water pressure will remain low,” the municipality admitted in a panicked statement. A shocking photo of the nearly empty Churchill Dam reservoirs shows the terrifying truth they can no longer hide.

But here’s the real scandal: while families are told to choose between drinking water and food, the holiday tourist influx POURS into Jeffreys Bay, sucking the system dry. Business owner Juan Voster warns the town’s main income is about to shut down. “No water means we can’t keep staff at work,” he said.

Resident Babalwa Solwandle exposes the brutal pattern: “This water issue tends to creep up almost every December, but there’s no solution… This makes me wonder if this water crisis is not caused by dilapidated infrastructure.” Why is this allowed to happen YEAR AFTER YEAR?

In a move that reveals how desperate things are, the municipality has BANNED all private fireworks for New Year’s Eve due to the extreme fire risk. They’ll host a single, controlled display instead. Even celebration is now a luxury they can’t afford.

Kouga is completely dependent on the failing Nelson Mandela Bay metro system, which has promised help but delivered only delays. Municipality spokesperson Monique Basson delivered the chilling bottom line: they have NO IDEA when the water will return to normal.

They are hoping you just get used to living in thirst.

They are out of water, out of ideas, and out of excuses—while you are about to be out of luck.
