If they don't have enough electricity to pump the water they have into the storage tanks, a desalinization plant might not be the answer. It would be a MAJOR electrical consumer.

Sounds like what they need is more electrical generation, or maybe people skilled enough to operate what generation capacity they have.

I've read some other articles about SA's problems with these systems. It's not just operation. It's maintenance and repair when you have breakdowns. They don't have people who can fix complicated machinery. Those people are gone.
