Abstract
The water crisis of Cape Town, South Africa, in the mid-2010s
revealed serious governmental corruption and damage, which ultimately
had serious consequences on the outcome of the drought. The government
implemented the Critical Water Shortage Disaster Plan in an attempt to fix
the problem, but it ultimately exposed several institutional issues at a governmental
level concerning leadership and misconduct. This paper seeks to
highlight the issues brought on by the drought and the governmental failures
and problems that were exacerbated by this national emergency.
