absolutely this was just last year that's a cape town almost became the 1st big city on the earth to run dry it was really a big drought here a big disaster back then the water was rationed to 50 liters per person per day eventually things improved the dams did not run out of water in the last minute but this where water scarcity was a big problem the still remains a big problem and they're still restrictions imposed by the town for example you can put water in a swimming pool just like this in cape town right now the dam levels have increased they reach about 80 percent of their capacity but the city planners here also say that water scarcity will definitely be an issue in the future as well. and you know we see that some of these measures have helped in the situation has improved in in cape town but more than what other parts of southern africa. right we've seen a lot of disasters on father in africa recently remember earlier this year where we had the cyclons in mozambique cyclon kenneth and he die that's killed hundreds of people then maybe other neighboring country the president

minister naledi pandor in cape town, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much and good afternoon.r, your country, south africa today looks desperately ill at ease with itself. would you agree? no, i don't think so. i don't think ill at ease, i think south africa is confronted by many very difficult and challenging problems. but given its history, i'm not surprised that it is confronted by these problems. so i wouldn't characterise us in the way that you have but i certainly admit that we are facing very deep and complex challenges, that we have defined solutions for. and complex challenges, that we have defined solutions forlj and complex challenges, that we have defined solutions for. i use the phrase ill at ease with itself because i think i and many people around the world find it quite hard to fathom how the country, the rainbow nation whose struggle we saw just a generation ago for freedom, how it can now include so many people who we've seen on our televisions joining people who we've seen on our televisionsjoining protests, chanting, directing with spears and saying foreign
