I remember hearing from a South African friend how terrible the water situation was at the time in Cape Town, how people weren’t able to flush their toilets, and how precious drinking water was. Soon after that, I happened to see some acquaintances on Facebook attending a big event in a 6-star hotel in Cape Town, complete with water features throughout the hotel. I doubt very much they had any limitations on flushing their toilets during their stay. And possibly had no idea whatsoever that things were as bad as they were for the residents in the town that surrounded them.
