WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT SAVE
- Single minded and focused – SAVE’s committee members are determined to enforce legislation and stop pollution of the Vaal River between the Vaal Dam and Parys.
- SAVE has developed a wealth of experience in this area and a noteworthy track record in the courts.
- SAVE is working in the public interest with no hidden agenda.
- A clean Vaal River and an efficient municipality will lay the foundation for economic growth in South Africa’s economic hub.
- Our legal strategy is reliant on South Africa’s solid water and environmental legislation, and the organization has a successful track record in the courts.
- Currently, the much publicised collapse of the Emfuleni Local Municipality’s waste water treatment system is causing serious sewage pollution of the Vaal River. SAVE holds a structural interdict against the Emfuleni Local Municipality and its Municipal Manager to stop this pollution.
- SAVE is ahead of all other organisations in the Vaal Triangle in terms of its legal strategy to stop pollution of the Vaal River.
- Following the inability of Emfuleni Local Council to comply with the court order, SAVE embarked on further litigation in May 2019. This court application resulted in role-players in national and provincial government being joined to the Emfuleni order. This litigation is ongoing.
