WATCH: How singing in the shower can stop climate change
Some of SA’s biggest musical names are helping Capetonians and visitors to the city save water through a special Shower Songs playlist made up of two-minute versions of their biggest hits.
The 2 Minute Shower Songs playlist features 10 major South African musical names – including Mi Casa, Kwesta, Jimmy Nevis and Springbok Nude Girls.
Each artist has recorded a unique remixed version of one of their most popular songs. An innovative initiative by Sanlam, the playlist has been created in association with the City Of Cape Town and Cape Town Tourism, and aims to practically help people keep their showers short.
Patricia De Lille, mayor of Cape Town, says: “This is a truly amazing initiative. Thank you to everyone involved in this campaign for coming on board to help us with this important message of saving water because water is life. It shows that private sector players are taking our City messages and using it to develop and drive their own water awareness campaigns. It is exactly what we have been hoping to see.
“There are so many businesses who have been top water ambassadors throughout this crisis. With the help of most of our residents, we have managed to halve our water consumption. It has been an amazing effort but we need to do more. The crisis is severe and while the City spends day-and-night trying to get additional water online to avoid a day when our taps run dry, all residents must join in to save.
“We can only make it through this drought together and what a fun way to play your part by jamming in the shower for two minutes or less to some of these great songs by our amazing talents. Thank you again Team Cape Town for saving water and thank you to everyone who joined this great cause.”
