Western Cape government: Save Water


Why should we save water?

Fresh water is a scarce resource in the Western Cape, as rainfall varies from year to year. We depend on water to survive, and our growing population puts more demand on our natural resources, especially water. Everyone needs to ensure that our water is sustainable for future generations. Irrigating farmland for food production uses a large amount of fresh water.

In Memoriam, Pat the tortoise


Julia Kramer


That night when our skies turned red,

the fire monster roaring 

foul breath 

scorching 

small creatures 

scuttling

terrified 

scrambling

she trundled along

eyes wide

feet burning

there is the fence

and the wire

can not, 

no

can’t get away

away from the fire


Grande Dame of the wetlands 

they found her,

after the fire

all the Kings horses 

and all the Kings men

couldn’t put this tortoise together 

again


rest softly 

beautiful one

where the stream frogs know your name

that night our skies burned red,

life forever changed we said.
