There probably aren't many, if any, on this board, but for anyone planning a trip to Cape Town in the next few months.
There is drought, the water situation is the worst it's been. There's a limit of 50 litres per person per day from the public supply and it's expected that Day Zero -- when the public water supply is turned off in the Cape Town area and taps run dry -- will be 12 April.
Bottled drinking water is now rationed by shops and people are starting to being hoard and shelves are emptying soon as deliveries come.
If you are coming to the Western Cape (the Eastern Cape is also affected) I suggest you check the situation with your accommodation.
Zero Day may not happen, the exact date changes and the rains may fall, desalination plants are being constructed, but the rainy season (which has failed the last three years) isn't due till May.
From a wine point of view. There's plenty available now. But the 2018 vintage is late as vines shut down during a very hot spell a few weeks ago. Berries are small and this years vintage will be around 30% smaller than usual.
