There is a shortage of water in the Western Cape in South Africa. The Cape Party has solicited suggestions on how to resolve it. This open letter has mine.
Dear Freedom Seekers
I support your desire to solve the Cape Water Crisis. I have previously suggested it as a means to power for your party. Here I will expand on my thoughts.
As shopping centres and large shops bought and operated generators during the rolling electricity black outs, so they could now buy and operate desalination plants. V&A Waterfront, which is on the waterfront, has set aside land for such use. Other shopping centres are not far from the water - there is at least one in Somerset West which is only a few kilometres from the water. These centres can use pooled resources to buy desalination equipment and operate it, either to supply their own plumbing or to sell water to the public. I imagine shopping centres with gyms and showers would be very popular.
I also know of at least one bar on the water's edge. They, and those like them, could and should look into small scale desalination equipment to supply their own needs. Being the only bar with ice and water for the whiskey is good for business.
In my original post, I mentioned licensing for water use. This is an obstacle in the physical realm, but in 4th Generation Warfare, we must remember that the moral trumps the physical. And morally, it benefits the challenger party when the incumbent party (ANC or DA) is the obstacle to people getting enough water to survive. The secessionist parties must be ready to publicly shame the incumbent parties at every bureaucratic roadblock they encounter.
Another roadblock, which has been a huge contributor to the current shortage, is affirmative action and black economic empowerment. Even without the known racial IQ disparity, these programmes would result in more unqualified, unmotivated, incapable people being given authority and responsibility for which they're unsuited. These programmes, and the governing culture they derive from, have led to poor planning by government and poor maintenance of existing infrastructure. They should be abolished. If the Cape does secede, I hope they are abolished. Their failings are obvious after a quarter century. And if the planning and maintenance of water resources had been assigned on merit instead of cultural Marxist victim group identities, the current crisis would almost certainly have been avoided.
My original post was more about solving gang violence than solving the water crisis. But my suggestions for that were similar to the inkblot strategy of counter-insurgency. And again that strategy should apply to this as well. The Cape Party is still small and diffuse. But those members who are active and enthusiastic should work together to solve the problem in a single location, on a small scale first. Identify an area with relatively large support, and solve the water supply problem for that single community first. Even if there is no government assistance, community organisation can be used. In fact, the more the Cape Party is identified with local communities, and the less with existing government bodies, the better for them overall. A stronger sense of community and loyalty divided away from the national and provincial governments is the start of independent nationhood for the White and Coloured tribes.
Yours sincerely
