Desalination is still expensive. When this article says it's becoming absurdly expensive it's talking about the future. It's not so cheap now.
Besides South Africa there are many countries that come to mind that will/could jump on the bandwagon fast. Spain. South-West US. Morocco.... I'm sure there are plenty more
If this is the case it's surprising they ran out of water in South Africa... poor planning?

Yishan, former CEO of reddit seems to be very big on solar powered desalination: https://medium.com/@yishan/our-project-in-hawaii-4c6c5a6052d7
And this not just Cato Institute propaganda, similar reports from MIT. This looks promising indeed...

Microplastic solution is a big problem, yes. Hope we tackle that problem as well one day and that it doesn't get forgotten
How can UAE have 100% desalinated water if microplastic is such a problem? I know little about this. Just curious.
