Who and what is AfriForum?

AfriForum is an Afrikaans civil rights organisation that protects the rights of minority groups at national as well as provincial level, and anyone who can identify with AfriForum’s principles and objectives may join the organisation. AfriForum’s community plan focuses on mobilising communities to thus take control of their own streets and neighbourhoods again. AfriForum ensures that your constitutional and civil rights are recognised and protected at national level.

Wie en wat is AfriForum?

AfriForum is ’n Afrikaanse burgerregteorganisasie wat die regte van minderheidsgroepe op sowel nasionale as provinsiale vlak beskerm, en enigiemand wat met AfriForum se beginsels en doelstellings kan identifiseer, mag by die organisasie aansluit. AfriForum se gemeenskapsplan fokus daarop om gemeenskappe te mobiliseer om só weer beheer terug te neem oor hul eie strate en woonbuurtes. AfriForum verseker dat jou grondwetlike én burgerregte op nasionale vlak erken en beskerm word.

Blue and Green Drop Project 2019

Together for a healthy country-wide water system

AfriForum once again tested the quality of drinking water and sewage in South African towns and cities between May and July this year. These tests – performed over the last seven years to determine South Africa’s water quality – are part of the organisation’s annual blue and green drop project.

AfriForum deems it necessary to undertake this project every year, as the Department of Water and Sanitation brought out its last Blue and Green Drop Reports as far back as 2012. The organisation therefore started to act as watchdog to ensure the quality of drinking water and treated sewage in South Africa.

AfriForum’s blue and green drop report is then used annually to put the necessary pressure on the DWS as well as the relevant municipalities. We need your help to keep the pressure on. Become a part of the solution and add your name and details below.

A word of thanks to AfriForum members, branches, staff and other partners

It is a privilege to work with people who share a passion for their people, communities and the environment in which they live.

A special word of thanks to every AfriForum member for your continued participation in this national project that AfriForum undertakes annually. Thank you for sharing this vision of sustainable development and responsible water management in South Africa with us.

Thank you also to those municipalities who take the lead in South Africa and do their work faultlessly to ensure the responsible management of water, thereby complying with applicable legislation and regulations. These municipalities should be commended for protecting communities and the environment against pollution and danger.
