  • EXCLUSIVE: SHOCKING IMAGES OF CAPE TOWN’S BONE-DRY DAM WHERE ONCE LOCALS USED TO GO BOATING AND WATER SKIING WITH PIX By Magnus News Agency Shocking images show a bone-dry desert where once boats used to sail on a reservoir as drought continues to ravage South Africa. Theewaterskloof Dam once hosted yacht clubs and water skiing but today not even one vessel could be launched on the parched space. Photographer Dirk Theron visited the starved body of water last week and took these frightening images of the dried-up lake which should supply 40 percent of the water to Cape Town’s four million residents. As Dirk’s pictures show, skeletons of fish and muddy pools are much of what remains of the former 480 million cubic metre capacity site. Last week billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg toured Theewaterskloof as part of his role as UN special Envoy for Climate Action. He warned the reservoir and draught across the Western Cape should act as a wake-up call for the international community on climate change. Despite the drought, which has struck the area for the past few years, government officials in South Africa have been criticised for their handling of the crisis. A ‘Day Zero’ when municipal taps would be turned off has been pushed back from June 4 to July 9 despite chronic shortages continuing. South African Dirk lives just 30 minutes from Theewaterskloof, but said he was stunned by what he found there. He said: “Theewaterskloof dam is one of those places where everybody has a boat and people would go there for the weekend. “A friend of mine used to be a member of the Theewaters sports club, we used to go there all the time water skiing and playing on the water in his boat. “This was a massive, massive body of water. It’s been a few years since last I’ve been there but when I saw it I was shocked to my core. “We all know about the water crisis but standing there and seeing it with your own eyes is so surreal. “I stood on dry ground

  • October 8, 2018 - Dozens of Palestinian demonstrators are injured by Israeli live ammunition and tear gas during clashes with Israeli military forces along the northern Gaza Strip near the beach of Zakim. Some Palestinian protesters burned tyres and threw rocks towards the Israeli troops on the other side of the fence, and according to the Israeli army some explosive devices were also hurled in the direction of the fence. Protesters were calling for the lift of the air, land and water blockade imposed by Israel on the Palestinian enclave since 2007 when Hamas took power in Gaza after winning the elections. Israel maintains that the blockade, which has also been enforced by Egypt, is a necessary measure to prevent Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza to arm or build military infrastructure. Yet, the World Bank has openly stated that Gaza’s economy is on the brink of collapse with the blockade playing a big part in that (Credit Image: © Ahmad Hasaballah/IMAGESLIVE via ZUMA Wire)

  • zReportage.com Story of the Week # 631 - Somalia On The Brink - Launched May 19, 2017 - Full multimedia experience: audio, stills, text and or video: Go to zReportage.com to see more - The current drought in Somalia will very likely become a famine - this year. More than 2 million people are facing starvation in the Horn of Africa nation that is suffering the effects of repeated rain failures and decades of conflict, according to the United Nations. A pre-famine alert was issued earlier this year, a move that U.N. officials credit with helping to avert a repeat of the 2011 famine. More than half the country, some 6.7 million Somalis still require aid after drought withered crops, killed livestock and dried up waterholes, according to the U.N. And almost 1.4 million children will risk acute malnutrition, according to UNICEF. After three extremely dry 'rainy' seasons, the effect has been catastrophic. 60 percent of Somalis depend on farming for survival, but as the dry landscape has caused many small farmers to lose their livestock and in turn their livelihood. While emergency workers focus on safe drinking water and food, the country is fighting its worst cholera epidemic in five years so far over 600 people have died from the disease. It will be the 3rd famine to hit Somalia in 25 years, a rate of starvation that is unmatched on Earth. (Credit Image: ? Maciej Moskwa/NurPhoto/zReportage.com via ZUMA Wire)
