06 May - Arts, Culture & Environment - DWA launches Adopt-a-River Programme

In today’s show, we spoke to Pumeza Gasa – Lubelwana - Adopt-a-River Programme Director. The Adopt-a-River project is an initiative of the Water Affairs Department that aims to encourage the public to take charge of river systems in their areas, fight and prevent pollution. The department will launch the Adopt-a-River programme in the Black River tributary of the Greater Salt River and its Tributaries. The launch comes as a result of the alarming level of pollution in tributaries such as Black and Liesbeek rivers which run through central Cape Town and surrounding areas and poses serious health and environmental hazards to the community.
