Being Green

In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Sidney Jacobs, chairman of the Friends of Zeekoevlei and Rondevlei, about steps that are being taken by the City of Cape Town to remove large quantities of reeds and organic sludge from the Rondevlei weir in the False Bay Nature Reserve. This is expected to significantly improve the health, biodiversity, and water quality of the wetland system. Rondevlei is home to about 230 bird species, a variety of small mammals and reptiles, as well as a hippopotamus population.
