We invite you to be part of the solution. Join our Twitter chat at 12pm on 28 March and become a Water Hero.

Earlier this month, our celebrity Water Heroes, Pearl Thusi, Claire Mawisa, Chad Saaiman, DJ Doowap, TrashGodd and Austin Malema, braved rain and mud as they slayed aliens along the Riviersonderend during the Journey of Water. Their mission: to reconnect South Africans to the true source of our water.

Along the way they learned many valuable lessons about the challenges facing water in South Africa: Water doesn’t come from a tap - it comes from nature, our water source areas to be precise. These areas, which make up just 10% of our land, deliver half of the water that flows in our rivers and fills our dams. Yet only 16% of our water source areas are formally protected. Meanwhile, our water source areas face threats from unsustainable farming, mining, forestry and land degradation.

If we truly value water, we need to understand where it comes from and use it wisely.
