There are some towns and cities which are currently running out of water in the dams and are heading towards day zero (no water in taps). Cities like Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) are near day zero and a large portion of the Eastern Cape has been experiencing a drought from 2015 to 2020 and then from 2021 to current.

Water tankers are delivering water to various areas in Port Elizabeth as well as numerous smaller towns which have run out of water.

During Cape Town's water crisis we were queuing to collect water from the mountain spring that the local brewery graciously allowed us to collect water from.

National Geographic has an article about South Africa running out of water: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/partner-c...
