Petition addressed to: Community of Western Cape

I want an immediate end to raw sewage leaking into the ocean at Strand and Gordon’s Bay. Specifically, I want the City of Cape Town to permanently fix the infrastructure failures (including at the Soet River mouth) and declare a health emergency until the water is safe. No family should risk getting sick just by swimming in False Bay.

Reason

MAJOR Health concerns. There are reportedly people that have been hospitalised due to this sewage Leakages over the years.

Thank you so much for your support, Keean Smit, Somerset Wes

Why people sign

The right to a clean Environment for all

It’s a no-brainer, but mainly Health reasons!

I live in the strand, but cannot swim in the sea!!

I would like to be able to use our beaches without fear of getting sick just because our government are used to living in filth.

The sea is being polluted so much. Yesterday In Gordon's Bay was disgusting. It has to stop.
