Western Cape Premier Helen Zillle’s office says a message on social media warning of a looming two-day water cut-off is a hoax. Her office issued a statement yesterday in response to the circulation on social media of what appears to be an official letter from the City of Cape Town under Zille’s name, saying water would be cut off on March 29 and 30. The letter reads: “The entire water system of Cape Town and surrounding areas will shut down in order to facilitate the new upgrades to the reservoir.”
