CLEAR RIVERS CAMPAIGN DEDICATED TO NELSON MANDELA 100

The Campaign call on everyone to dedicate their 67 minutes of goodwill activities towards cleaning up streams, wetlands, dams, canals and any freshwater source. Everyone is encouraged to participate in cleaning up our water ecosystems; on any day during Mandela Month.

Mr Sputnik Ratau says that the objective of the Clear Rivers Campaign is to undertake a collaborative effort and actively engage communities as well as promoting and creating ongoing awareness and education on protecting our water resources. Fostering volunteerism among communities is actively encouraged as part of a proactive approach to protecting our rivers, streams, wetlands and other water ecosystems, given the drought that still persist in large parts of the country.
