Abstract
This essay reflects on the water crisis experienced by the Cape Town metropolitan area in 2016 and 2017. It explores how the question of access to water is implicated in the city’s colonial and apartheid history, and then considers how the spectre of “Day Zero” (the day when the taps would, supposedly, run dry) was invoked in political debates and the media.
