The organisation says that the Jukskei River, one of Johannesburg's largest rivers, needs urgent intervention to address the continual pollution that threatens it.
The non-profit adds that there's a need to make the river safe and sustainable for over 700 000 dwellers in Alexandra and other surrounding communities.
Lesley Ann van Selm, managing director of Khulisa, says, "This training will endeavour to provide stakeholders — especially those affected by the Jukskei River degradation. [It will address] key insights on water governance within the South African context and the number of relevant provisions in the National Water Act — such as the general duty of care concerning water resources and when authorisation to use water is required."
Gillian Niven, Regulatory Lawyer specialising in environmental law at Allen & Overy, will present the workshop from 10:00 midday at the Allen & Overy offices in Sandton.
