@BWGovernment Scary to immagine the hundres of well that ReconAfrica's drilling in the Kavago River Basin for oil and gas will industrialise the area around the Delta. This will have deliterious impact on communities and nature. Sad. There are alternatives: renewables.

Please join the protest march to the US and German embassies on the 23rd of April in Windhoek. Keep the oil in the ground. There are viable alternatives for socio-economic development in the Kavango regions. Oil drilling is not one of them #SaveTheOkavangoDelta @fff_whk

@MmegiOnline Is this part of the infrastructure for oil and gas export for ReconAfrica? Via Mohembo bridge, and by rail from Namibia to Walvis Bay? I'm curious about it all. Please respond.
