Water shortage – many simply don’t care

I AM writing this letter in response to the front page article ‘Water cut hammer finally falls’.

It says that wards in Richards Bay, Empangeni and Ngwelezane will be affected due to concerns about the drought.

But I drive around in Arboretum and still see people using sprinklers and standing with their hosepipes, watering gardens.

My impression is that people simply don’t care and act as though there is plenty of water.

It is time to be honest and to pray to God to give us rain, in His mercy.

Maybe He is trying to tell us we are living in the wrong way by making us realise our dependence on Him.

And when the rain does come, we need to give thanks to Him, and not take it for granted.
