A People’s Dialogue on Fracking

On Thursday, 21 August, Stephanie Booker of Natural Justice attended ‘A People’s Dialogue on Fracking: Global to Local”, hosted by Groundwork and Southern Cape Land Committee in Cape Town.

 
The dialogue was attended by a number of South African NGOs and community members from the Karoo, in addition to guests Milieudefensie (Friends of the Earth, The Netherlands) and Dutch representatives currently resisting fracking in their communities. It gave an opportunity for participants to share their concerns – and their work – on fracking in South Africa.
