Water scientists and other experts describe the Vaal River – which supplies water to Gauteng, the country's economic and industrial powerhouse, as well as to farmers in Gauteng, North West, the Free State and Northern Cape – as 'in crisis' and 'under siege' by polluters. Since the 1990s, the Department of Water Affairs has pumped water from the Lesotho Highlands into the river to supplement the water supply. This water is increasingly needed to dilute the pollution. Said Krige: 'We are using expensive drinking water to sort out the problem of pollution. Dilution is not a solution to pollution.' The water in the Vaal River system will eventually cost far more to treat, leaving companies such as Sasol and Eskom to pay more for the chemicals needed to treat the water before they use it. This will increase their costs.

But we hesh (as they say in the township, meaning 'hustle') in our small car, to get around. But the going is not easy. There are furrows here and there from soil erosion. There are stones, small boulders even, that really make driving here a difficult exercise. Thousands of residents in various informal settlements across the Western Cape also have no proper access to water and sanitation. Many households, mostly in rural areas and townships, continue to use the bucket system, or remain without access to adequate sanitation services.

Minutes later, the 20-year-old student and his family were forced onto the street with all their belongings. Along with 50 other low-income residents, they were being evicted from the living spaces they had informally rented without a contract in an old building in Jeppestown. Khwela's family and their neighbours were displaced to make way for the redevelopment of the gritty (dusty) area into Maboneng, an arts mecca with pricey loft apartments, upmarket cafés and independent movie theatres.

This is partly due to the low productivity of our informal beef farming sector. This problem needs to be corrected. The South African beef industry is in a position to take advantage of Africa's increasing middle-class expenditure and increased population growth from one billion to two billion people by 2050 – and the associated demand for red meat. In recent years there have been worldwide improvements in beef feeding practices and herd quality through the use of modern technologies. These technologies have failed to find their way into South Africa's informal beef farming sector. Due to several factors, including environmental concerns, the national beef herd cannot be increased, and existing production methods therefore need to be improved.
