@TheGreenConnect This case is against #TotalEnergies SA who want to explore for oil & gas in the deep waters of the Deep Water Orange Basin (DWOB). They have a few interests in various "blocks" across our coastline - and recently were also in court for their interests in Block 5/6/7 #teepsaDWOB

@TheGreenConnect Despite 8 internal appeals against #TotalEnergies plans for DWOB, the Department of Environment dismissed all of them, giving TEEPSA sign off to continue with exploration plans. #teepsaDWOB

Next week, TGC, NJ, and Aukotowa return to the WC High Court, seeking to have both the DMR Director- General’s decision to grant the EA as well as the decision of Fisheries Minister to dismiss the internal appeals in the DWOB case reviewed and set aside. What is the DWOB case?

South Africa produces enough food to feed everyone. Yet millions still go hungry. The National Investigative Hearing into the Right to Food will examine the systems, policies, and power structures shaping our food system. 📅 12-20 March 2026 Because hunger in a food-secure country is not inevitable, it is political.

READ | The TEEPSA 567 case is about more than administrative legality. It is about good governance, climate responsibility, and the constitutional rights of coastal communities whose futures depend on a healthy ocean. It will be heard in the Supreme Court. infrastructurenews.co.za/2026/02/19/to-…

Flooding in southern and central Mozambique has affected 723,500 people. Nearly 392,000 have been displaced. More heavy rain and Tropical Storm Gezani could push the total above 1 million people affected. Oxfam is providing clean water, hygiene kits and emergency support. More funding is urgently needed.

What lies beneath the surface? The climate crisis is more than droughts, floods, heatwaves and wildfires. That’s only the tip of the iceberg. Below the surface are the deeper, often ignored consequences like water scarcity, crop failure, displacement and resource-driven conflict. These impacts are already shaping daily life across Africa.
