SPOILED: The David vs. Goliath Battle for South Africa’s Oceans – And How YOU Can Fight Back

Loading player...
The Social Impact Show, In this powerful conversation We turning our attention to the fight for South Africa’s oceans — and a powerful new short film that’s making waves. It’s called SPOILED, and it tells the David-and-Goliath story of coastal communities, scientists, and activists standing up to the growing threat of offshore oil and gas exploration. Produced by WILDTRUST and The Green Connection, the film exposes the environmental, social, and economic risks we face if we allow our ocean heritage to be exploited. Joining me in studio is Lauren van Nijkerk, Campaigns Director at WILDTRUST, to talk about the film, the communities it represents, and the urgent call to action it’s sending out to all South Africans."

💡 Why It Matters:

Our oceans feed us, employ us, and regulate our climate—but corporate greed could SPOIL it all.
This isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s about justice, jobs, and our children’s future.
The time to act is NOW.
