A Voice for Water
ARMOUR was formed in 2015 further to a group of concerned citizens taking action to address a major sewage spill into the Jukskei River in Johannesburg.
Determined to find out what had happened, who was responsible for the incident and how could it be resolved, a core team of volunteers was mandated to form a working group with representatives from Johannesburg Water, the City of Joburg and the Department of Water & Sanitation.
With positive results 'The Voice for Water' was subsequently 'heard' and an ongoing relationship was established as platform between civil society and those responsible for managing OUR water.
Over time a 'network of networks' has been developed which welcomes those who align with a shared vision for clean & safe waterways. Constructively challenging and co-operating with parties accountable for incidents the following approach underpins the team's success:
'Catchment to Catchment'
Action taking place
'it's not about picking up other peoples litter, fixing leaks, stopping sewage or illegal activities,
it's about awareness, knowledge transfer, subsequent behavioural change & the impact of being part of a sustainable solution'
