#ReThinkTheStink - Safe, clean water is a basic human right enshrined in our constitution. Taking care of our water resources is a shared responsibility.

[ReThinkTheStink @ReThinkTheStink]

A landmark judgment.

If failure to deal with sewage pollution is unconstitutional in eThekwini, the same legal principles apply everywhere.

Communities still facing chronic pollution or delayed action plans take note. Transparency and accountability are no longer optional.

[Dean Macpherson MP @DeanMacpherson]

BREAKING NEWS: The DA in KZN has secured a historical judgement against the eThekwini Municipality for their failure to adequately deal with the sewage crisis. The court has declared their actions unconstitutional and unlawful. They have been directed to publish weekly data on e.coli and within 2 months an action plan to fix the mess they created. Only the DA was big enough and strong enough to take them on and win!

@YongaSikhobong1 @CityofCT I see your Kraaifontein Bloekombos and Wallacdene and raise you Milnerton Lagoon and the Diepriver

@PeteWalsh_ZAR For years, raw sewage from Cape Town’s failing wastewater systems has poisoned our rivers and coastline with no accountability. If this is truly the “age of enforcement,” let it start where the evidence — and the stench — are impossible to ignore. #ReThinkTheStink

[Peter Walsh @PeteWalsh_ZAR]

Strong words from Minister George — but communities like Milnerton are still waiting to see this enforcement in action. If this is truly the “age of enforcement,” let it start where the evidence — and the stench — are impossible to ignore.

🚨 After 15 years, Prof. Leslie Petrik finally got to present her research on toxic chemicals in Cape Town’s sewage to City officials.

“You can’t argue with chemical fingerprints in sewage.”

I would imagine it’s not lawful to allow obstructionism to be a policy of @SARS so then we should imagine it’s incompetence

[ReThinkTheStink @ReThinkTheStink]

@EdKieswetter @sarstax is it your policy to not grant “Non Profit Company” to register as a PBO ? Asking because after 2 years of fighting our way through your bureaucracy, with multiple escalations we are nowhere closer to getting answers from your Cape Team.

Even our accountant is now wanting to throw in the towel.

[ReThinkTheStink @ReThinkTheStink]

Nothing we do moves the dial. Multiple tickets, multiple escalations, hours in the queue and moving the goalposts / lack of communications

[Geordin Hill-Lewis @geordinhl]

I’m very pleased that another 20 rivers and canals across the City now have new permanent waste interceptors. These have been installed in the last few weeks. We want to clean up our rivers, beaches and ocean! 🏞️ 🌊

Keep an eye out for these new waste interceptors popping up across the city. Let’s keep our rivers and ocean clean together!

How about you start by protecting the Dieprivier and Milnerton Lagoon along with the Cape Nature Reserve Area from sewage contamination @environmentza ? That would be a good start. #WorldWetlandsDay #ReThinkTheStink @CityofCT @CapeTownTourism #WWTW #Potsdam

#Milnerton Cape Town

A large residential suburb on the Atlantic Seaboard.

the lagoon is a polluted waste land, a dumping ground of poorly treated waste water and the stench of sewage permeates the daily lives of residents, homes and businesses.

@CapeTownTourism @CityofCT

[ReThinkTheStink @ReThinkTheStink]

@askash Lets hope there are plans afoot to deal with the ever increasing waste water problem in the area. More people means more sh1t pumped at Mouille Point - it’s unsustainable #ReThinkTheStink

[SAfmRadio 📻 @SAfmRadio]

[ON AIR] An independent investigation by @ReThinkTheStink’s Project Blue has uncovered widespread pollution in Table Bay, with many Cape Town beaches, including Blue Flag beaches, showing concerning levels of harmful bacteria, such as E. coli and Enterococci. @TurtonWater - Environmental Advisor | Speaker | Author on #TheMorningBrief with Thulasizwe Simelane #sabcnews

We acknowledge it hot in the kitchen but this requires cool heads. Shooting the messenger and alienating the residents of Cape Town in the midst of a know environmental crisis is not what we expected @kirstenengel_

[ReThinkTheStink @ReThinkTheStink]

@Dave Bryant’s role in provincial government as chairperson of the environmental portfolio and local government should preclude him from taking a position on the sewage pollution in ⁦@CityofCT⁩ But he trying to defend the indefensible. /1 https://t.co/GYIrvhqZf5

[ReThinkTheStink @ReThinkTheStink]

One would have hoped his role as chairperson would have seen him taking a leadership role, having an open mind and providing guidance in the heat of it all. We call on Dave Bryant to do his job and ensure sanity prevails. /2

[ReThinkTheStink @ReThinkTheStink]

@geordinhl Now all we need is Milnerton Lagoon on this list Geordin and our world will be a better place
