Environmental affairs
Environmental affairs refer to the protection and sustainable management of the natural environment within communities in South Africa. AfriForum places a strong emphasis on issues such as water quality, pollution, waste management and the conservation of natural resources, and is often critical of the failure of authorities to enforce environmental legislation.
The organisation encourages communities to get involved through projects such as clean-ups, monitoring water sources, and legal action against polluters. In this context, environmental affairs are therefore regarded as a shared responsibility where citizens play an active role in ensuring a healthy and sustainable living environment.
