19 January – Arts, Culture and Environment

Today we spoke to Peter Loftus from the Stellenbosch Municipality. The frequent pollution of the Eerste River by the Stellenbosch sewage works has left farmers fuming as their irrigation water is contaminated by raw sewage. According to reports an investigation conducted by the Stellenbosch Municipality has found that a raw sewage spill that took place over the weekend was caused by human error and the municipality is considering disciplinary action against that employee. Peter has made an appeal to the members of the public to report any littering that might have bad impact on the environment to 021 808 8111.

And we also spoke to Vincent Meyburgh from Jungle Theatre Company. The Jungle Theatre Company uses music, mime and puppetry to entertain and at the same time educating the public. They perform to schools, Festivals, townships, theatres and they also conduct different workshops. Vincent is a founding member of the company and he is also a performer.
