\"\"
Local company Remax All Stars, in conjunction with Relyant Express Services, were able to collect 6 000 litres of water for the Cape in just two weeks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Western Cape is currently in the grips of its worst drought in over 100 years, and already, due to the severity of the water crisis, level 6B water restrictions were put into effect on February 1.<\/p>

The restrictions mean residents are only be permitted to use a minimal 50 litres of water per person, per day.<\/p>\n
