EWN reports that union federation Cosatu in the Western Cape has called for Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille to step down as a result of the current water crisis.
The city's dam levels are currently critically low and the dams effectively only have 12.8% of water left. Cosatu's Tony Ehrenreich accused the municipality of not putting measures in place to address the situation. “There has been no contingency plan to ensure that there’s drinking water for the people of Cape Town. The key responsibility of the mayor is to lead this place. If she can’t, she must step down,” said Ehrenreich. The mayor's spokesperson, Zara Nicholson, invited Ehrenreich to come to the City for a meeting so that they could explain to him what was being done about the crisis.
