Inkwazi Isu project takes flight
The project is the brainchild of a group of collaborators who engaged with the eThekwini Municipality and put together a project to address education, infrastructure development and an Innovation Hub.
The official launch of the Inkwazi Isu project and the unveiling of the Unimog and beach rake took place at Amanzimtoti Main Beach on Saturday, 19 September. The aim of the project is to clean-up the environment and remove plastic waste out of the sea and back into the value chain. Minster of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, Barbara Creecy with other officials were in attendance.
“Everyday plastic is used by all of us and then discarded instead of being reused, re-purposed and recycled. Our throw away mindset needs to be reordered and a value chain re-established so that our beaches can be full of clean sand and our rivers free of floating bottles,” said Rev Andrew Manning of the KZN Marine Waste Network South Coast.
