Water crisis looms in South Africa
The embattled South African President Jacob Zuma could be out of power within days, but residents in Cape Town are facing uncertainty of another kind: their water supply is fast running out.
After three years of relentless drought, a rapidly expanding population and accusations of poor planning by authorities, day zero, when the taps are simply turned off, could be as soon as May.
Our International Editor Lindsey Hilsum reports.
Sunday drive to beautiful Nieu Bethesda, Eastern Cape
A Sunday drive. Small town South Africa. Nieu Bethesda.
My sister and I love driving to Nieu Bethesda for enjoying the peace and quiet and a yummy bite.
Manna better cake and coffee is a must-see, and a must-taste.
TAKE CASH WITH YOU, there are no ATMs HAVE A FULL TANK, there are no petrol stations in the village
On the road to... NIEU BETHESDA
A rutter is the name of the pilot book or seaman's guide carried by early navigators, representing the best knowledge at the time about the way to get safely from one place to another.
These books and charts were both written and illustrated guides to the navigator...recording the colour of the sky, the shape of an island, the intensity and direction of the wind. The modern-day equivalent is the Garmen GPS, but with its soulless, disembodied verbal directions. I wanted to restore the romance of the rutter to the commute of contemporary travel. My rutter is a visual guide for the journey from Johannesburg to Cape Town (es-cape town) but, given our modern technology, it's in video form.
