Being Green - 17 April 2020

Loading player...
Last year, Being Green spoke to journalist Steve Kretzmann about the quality of the coastal water around Cape Town. He said it was difficult to know how clean it was as the City of Cape Town had not made public the results of its water sample tests for some time. Well a few weeks ago, it did in fact publish the Know Your Coast, 2019 report on water quality at recreational beaches and monitoring points along the Atlantic and False Bay coasts, looking at samples taken over a period of five years. In the programme this week, Glynis Crook asks Steve what he made of it.
