I don't think so, nana...Gauteng water goes to Limpopo river and Olifants. Mpumalanga Highveld goes to Crocodile and Olifants. Lowveld rain has been intermittent...don't know about Phalaborwa? So maybe things will be sorted, besides Olifants River.
It should be nearing the end of the rainy season...
