No generators like in hotels to take over. In addition, the drought in the region is so severe that only 5% of the drinking water remains in the dam&#8217;s reserves and the municipality&#8217;s running water is only delivered to homes every three days for a few hours. Boiler water transport, mitt washing, salt water swimming pool&#8230; a South African experience.<\/p>\n<pre>Liz<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Uh&#8230; that was too much.
