It might not have been the intention, but Splash's unnerving appearance actually appears to be helping spread the message. As well as the tweets from Cape Town residents above, Splash has recently been made into a Twitter Moment.
"Day Zero", the date when Cape Town is predicted to run out of water, is currently 4 June 2018. It was previously 12 April, but reduced water consumption has managed to push it back.
More information about Cape Town's Water Crisis is available online. Organisations like Gift of the Givers, who are helping to organise water donations to the city, are also taking monetary donations via their website.
