Minister Sisulu's assurances yesterday were hollow but did have a ring of urgency. Is the Master Plan really on track? news.uct.ac.za/article/-2019-…

Langrug informal settlement Franschhoek, totally underprepared to deal with the spread of COVID 19. Unhygienic toilets destroyed by residents in recent weeks. Locking down just became more unsafe.

So pleased that the Peninsula Paddle is happening this year on World Rivers Day, 27 September. Its going to be different from others years. Making an impact on Cape Town's waterways. #SAPenPaddle

Another Peninsula Paddle completed today in glorious Cape Town weather and with a small team of paddlers under Covid conditions. Its a journey that we do every year because we see the progress in making more liveable waterways in the city.

So impressed with the work that SOS NPO is doing at Masibambane SS school. A simple but effective handwashing station. Amazing school too...not hard to see why it has all the signs of being well managed SOS NPO

Solid waste in the Stiebeuel River at the Water Hub. It's a crime against the environment that has no defence. We can cure the problem here - which is good - but preventing means addressing systemic failure.
