“Almal wat die see lief het, klim op die vissers se boot!” resounded outside the Western Cape High Court as a legal battle regarding the decision to grant authorisation to TGS Geophysical Company to conduct seismic surveys off South Africa’s coastline, kicked off this morning.

[Natural Justice @naturaljustice]

@TheGreenConnect The case aims to promote government accountability, ensure proper decision-making and to protect the ocean. The organisations argue that the State approved a potentially harmful project without considering environmental, social and economic impacts on coastal communities.

THIS WEEK: Looking back at Earth Day's march (Wed 22 April 2026) to SA's parliament to hand over a memorandum that called on leaders to challenge false solutions to the climate crisis. We thank the organizers and everyone who stood united this week. Read: https://t.co/ZYMfHsbLnx

Earth Day 2026 (22 April) - Natural Justice joined a number of civil society organisations in a march to the South African Parliament buildings, as part of the No Faith in False Solutions Campaign. https://t.co/ZYMfHsbLnx

We salute all those who stood in solidarity, want to have a voice in decisions that affect their environments, livelihoods culture and heritage and call on government to focus on development that is beneficial to ocean marine life and builds thriving communities. Aluta continua!

Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal communities and organisations protested in solidarity as a court case challenging a decision to grant an Environmental Authorisation to drill ultra deep exploration wells in the Deep Water Orange Basin block was heard in the Western Cape High Court.

[Natural Justice @naturaljustice]

As the DWOB North court case continued in Cape Town on Monday 23 March 2026 – communities and organisations in the Eastern Cape protested in solidarity.

[Natural Justice @naturaljustice]

@TheGreenConnect The case continues tomorrow at the court in Cape Town. We wish to thank @TheGreenConnect and the Aukotowa Primary Fishing Cooperative, and all the supporters outside the court today!

[Natural Justice @naturaljustice]

Today in the Western Cape High Court in SA, fishers & civil society came together to defend their ocean heritage & livelihoods, and to call for better decision-making from government when it comes to oil and gas exploration off the coastline. #teepsaDWOB

@TheGreenConnect 4. Lastly, that this project (and others like it) go against the international commitments the country has made to stop using fossil fuels and address #climatechange. This project also goes against government's own energy planning. #teepsaDWOB

[Natural Justice @naturaljustice]

@TheGreenConnect 2. The risks to the natural environment from ultra-deep drilling (2000 metres!) and reliance on un-tested plans in the event of a well blowout. 3. The coastal community, including marine life, the people on the shoreline, but also the whole of SA, were not properly considered.
