The Minister of Water and Sanitation, who has been silent about the Cape Water crisis for months, suddenly came to the fore and now threatens to nationalize private dams to address poverty and equality.

Farmers were very shocked at her threat of expropriation and several farmers threatened to flatten the dams rather than to have the state take over the control of the them, which would further destabilize the already wavering state of security in the country.

Shortly after the launch of the slogan, it has made headlines on social media and has been widely distributed.
