Somewhere, someone needs to just check some maths:

"release between eight and ten million cubic metres of water into the Western Cape supply network. The donation will  translates to about a billion litres of water."

 

 1 cubic metre = 1000 liters

thus

8 to 10 million cubics = 8 to 10 billion litres. 

 

Big difference between 1 Billion and 8 Billion. Assuming the 500 million litres a day consumption target, it means either 2 extra days of water or 16 extra days of water. (come to think of it, the reporter probably just heard "a Billion" instead of the correct "eight billion")

 

Still, this is a "druppel in die emmer", they still face a massive problem nonetheless.

I hope SONA been postponed is not a leading indicator to the Cape Town cycle tour been postponed. Bitcoin seems to possibly have been the leading indicator on the traditional stock market!

 

I started doing the miles again for the Cape Town cycle tour - I now really hope that it is on the traditional route and not postponed like SONA - or I am on dangerous road for longer than normal and for nothing!

Wonder in what order they send out the mails? Alphabetical for surname? Damn I am S, long wait. Start group? I should be # so like 2nd or 3rd group off. How many tours completed? 26 for me and 28 for my toppie. 

Or will they sommer send 36k emails at once?
