SAFRICA-WATER
A woman carries a bucket of water which she filled at a nearby tap in Zwelitsha, an informal settlement in Khayelitsha that is home to millions of people in mostly impoverished circumstances, near Cape Town on February 24, 2022. - It's been four years since South Africa's tourist capital nearly ran dry, during a drought that left the city limping towards a "Day Zero" when all the pipes would empty.
Now water flows liberally, but not for everyone.
The City of Cape Town estimates that about 31 neighbourhoods have no access to clean water.
That includes sprawling districts filled with shacks, but also working-class neighbourhoods. (Photo by RODGER BOSCH / AFP) (Photo by RODGER BOSCH/AFP via Getty Images)
