Cedarberg municipalities are struggling to keep up with the rapid growth of informal settlements as desperate families settle in Clanwilliam and Citrusdal in the hopes of finding work; small-scale fishers and environmental organisations are challenging authorisations granted to TotalEnergies to drill oil and gas exploration wells off the West Coast between Port Nolloth and Saldanha Bay; a group of Cape Flats moms are teaching maths to grade 2 and 3 learners in a bid to help them succeed. Lester Kiewit speaks to Marecia Damons of GroundUp News about these stories.
