@vivamood1@geordinhl@ZahidBadroodien@CityofCT absolutely, although a huge pity that there is even a need for such things, I am grateful that there is still some pride left after we have made such a big mess :(
Is this an acceptable state for our river, or any river to be in?
Not according to me, this is shameful!
Our rivers are supposed to carry life, and nutrients all over the world, and yet we treating them like dustbins.
This is not okay!
Everybody can play their part in making the world a better place.
Start today!

I’m going to say something many will disagree with, but I don’t care: the Global South has a unique and unprecedented opportunity to step into the moral space left vacant by the United States and redefine itself as the true custodian of liberal democracy. For too long, power has been equated with geography, and influence with historical dominance. But the world is shifting, and the structures that once seemed immovable are beginning to crack.
This is not an easy undertaking. It will require strategic diplomacy, economic leverage, and intensive groundwork. But it is not impossible. A coalition of powerful nations could emerge, aligning with Europe where interests intersect, yet retaining the autonomy to shape a new global order that reflects the realities of the 21st century. It won’t be all of the Global South, of course, only a few will have both the vision and the means to take on this role, but South Africa is well positioned to be a major player. Its historical experience, democratic foundations, and strategic influence make it an ideal candidate.
Of course, I recognise that I, too, carry cognitive biases that I need to work through to fully define the scope of this vision. We have all been conditioned - whether consciously or not - to see the Global South as subsidiaries, as dependent rather than self-determined, as reacting rather than leading. This is a narrative deeply embedded in global politics, in economic structures, and even in our own minds. But narratives can be rewritten.
The question is: will the Global South seize this moment, or will it allow itself to be relegated to the margins of the world order and history once again?
But our water resources (rivers) are filthy! Polluted by everything imaginable! People abuse #water..
This Abuse raises the treatment costs, and end user price..
The consumer pays !
