ANC must stop talking and actively start implementing measures against pollution
25 November 2015
The ANC government has a lot to say about climate change, but it is the biggest culprit with regards to the pollution of the country’s rivers as a result of poor and incompetent municipal managers who allow raw sewerage to be dumped in rivers,” Dr. Pieter Groenewald, the FF Plus’ parliamentary spokesperson on environmental affairs says.
Dr. Groenewald today during the parliamentary debate on climate change said that the ANC discusses the issue a lot and even attend international conferences about it, which is all good and well. Talking alone however does not help at all if something concrete is not done about the problem.
“I am aware that even scientists differ about global warming and climate change. Regardless of these different opinions, we know that climate change is a reality. We are currently experiencing it in South Africa with a severe drought.
