Stellenbosch Municipality is entering into an
innovative and exemplary partnership with the local business fraternity and
communities to enhance the long-term health of rivers in the area.
A number of private companies and wine estates have
indicated their commitment to joining and serving as active members of the
River Stewardship Action initiated by the municipality. Schalk van der Merwe
explains:
“This is a voluntary initiative which will build on
the goodwill of the people and the institutions involved. Each member adopts or
assumes stewardship of a defined section and undertakes to rehabilitate that
section in accordance with best practice methodology”
