Kriya recently took a trip to the beautiful city of Cape Town and as she was flying back to Johannesburg, she caught a glimpse of how bad the water shortage really is.
While visiting a number of places and even in the hotel there were a number of posters and signs that clearly asked visitors to use water sparingly and even time the period that they have the water running, keeping it to under 30 seconds.
