The Lead: ‘Day Zero’ looms large for drought-stricken Knysna

A real Day Zero scenario looms large for the people of Knysna. Bad seasonal rains, claims of a lack of water infrastructure maintenance – and the usual mix of poor politics – mean taps are on the verge of trickling to a halt. We catch up with News24 journalist, Velani Ludidi, who spent three days on the ground in the drought-stricken tourist town. Later, in our trending topic, a sole thief is targeting CrossFit gyms in Jozi, not necessarily for the intense workout, but for your cellphone. Finally, a famous pirate was spotted off the Cape of Good Hope, On This Day in SA History, heard at the end of the show.
