THE world‘s largest commercial water slide will no longer be coming to Port Elizabeth this year after organisers postponed the event.
The decision was made in light of one of South Africa’s driest seasons in recent years.
“The severity of the drought that has hit South Africa has led the organisers of Slide the City to postpone the event,” reads a statement on Slide the City South Africa Facebook page.
The events, scheduled for various cities in South Africa, would have drawn on non-drinkable water that would then have been recycled after use and distributed where most needed in the host cities.
But organizers still felt the need to postpone the event citing reservations from citizens in other provinces.
