Ah...er...no it's not a case of demand outstripping supply:
Here the existing infrastructure has seen close to zero maintenance since 'The Old South Africa' and has basically fallen apart, with time, in a very predictable manner.
Besides that, there has been nigh on zero new infrastructure of any sort built since then.
We have ...'leaders' here saying things like:
"It's the [...er... Old South Africa's] fault the [water] dam is empty because they built it too big. If the dam was small; it would be full right now" etc-etc.
