This picture depicts a very common problem in the rural areas of the Eastern Cape , South Africa.This windmill has not pumped water in excess of 5 years. The local community are walking in excess of 4 kilometers , pushing wheel barrows with plastic containers in them to the nearest water. In this case a very slimy pool in a river. When this picture was taken the area was gripped in a lenghty drought.
This picture was taken in the Tsolwana Municipal area near Queenstown.
