As a former Cape Town resident I am continually surprised by what I hear. Every time I have come down I have stayed with family, who take the question of saving water extremely seriously. I hear that the organisers of the Cape Town Cycle Tour are going ahead with this year’s event. This is preposterous. They claim to be bringing in their own water, which will no doubt help, but they are ignoring two vital aspects: they are setting a bad example by pretending that nothing is wrong, and they are ignoring the impact of the large number of competitors and hangers-on who come to the race.
