Tshwane celebrates National Water Day
The City of Tshwane’s Water Department conducted a Water Day campaign on 23 March at the Akasia Hall in Theresapark.
The campaign aimed to emphasise the value of water and the need for sustainable management of this scarce resource.
National Water Week was held under the theme “Water and sanitation is a human right” and it was attended by learners from various schools around Tshwane. The campaign seeks to continue building an ongoing awareness in Tshwane. The MMC for Infrastructure, Cllr Darryl Moss, told the learners that it is important to save water as it is a limited resource.
In celebration of Water Week, the learners recited poems and performed a drama on the importance of water. The Executive Mayor of Tshwane, Cllr Solly Msimanga, addressed the learners and urged them to keep rivers clean, explaining the importance of taking care of the environment.
Strict water restrictions were recently lifted, but we may very well face empty dams and dry taps again in the future. What are you doing to save water?
Remember, water is life: Respect it, conserve it, enjoy it.
