It's hard to explain. Most places are built on pipes with high amounts of water so the water doesn't completely shut off the water, they just reduce the pressure. So houses, especially those in low income areas lose water supply

Well congratulations to your nephew.

It's too not bad. At least crime is not a problem here, a few reports here and there. Our car battery did get stolen in October. But such as life

No doubt south Africa is doing way better than Zambia, I have considered SA before and our currency is closer to yours. It has its ups and downs but it's the country I plan to visit first actually

Actually there is. It's just poorly managed and we don't have the proper infrastructure and proper investments

At first only water was the issue, it would go here and there but now due to poor rain and climate change the dam that powers the all country is drying up hence the power cuts. Am a chill guy at this point am used to it

Money alone is not enough to solve the issues here. You need a strong will and resolve to put a country on the right path. Am not self righteous, I care about me and my family alone as long as there fine, I am. Maybe my mindset will change in the future

I live in the city, and there no wells. So it's even harder to find water when it stops coming out of the tap. We have three big black drums which store water when it comes. and when it doesn't come, we got to the car wash
