On Thursday, the City of Cape Town demonstrated what water collection points will look like and how they will work. Open 24/7 and under guard from the military, you wouldn’t be blamed for confusing it with an apocalyptic movie. With the water crisis in critical state, your favourite local artists are helping you keep your shower time down. How? With two-minute shower songs, of course.

People around the globe love to sing in the shower, and while that is great and all, it can be very distracting to your efforts to get in and out of the shower fast. Sanlam realised that and worked with 10 of our country’s biggest artists to remix their hits into two-minute versions.

All of the above artists’ two-minute remixes can be downloaded for free at www.2minuteshowersongs.co.za

With all genres and multiple languages covered. You can have a quick jam session in the shower to Francois van Coke’s Dit Raak Better to Micasa’s brilliant house track Nana.

With the best in SA taking their time to help you save water, Sanlam put together a video with the stars sharing their thoughts on how the water crisis is affecting them.

As part of City of Cape Town Mayor Patricia De Lille’s “complete honesty” plan, Cape Town residents have been given a first look at what water collection points will look like. If Cape Town runs out of water, that is.

“I want to bring you into my confidence to tell you what will happen if day zero arrives. Dam levels must at least be at 13.5%. If they go below that, that is the day we will turn off the taps,” said De Lille on Thursday.
