A JOINT RESOURCE WITH THE AFRICAN CLIMATE AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN

The most comprehensive resource of first-hand reflections on the crisis

Conducted and filmed over the twelve-month period from September 2018 to September 2019, the 39 in-depth interviews below, with a total runtime of 43 hours, constitute the largest collection of first-hand reflections on the drought and the Cape Town water crisis. Interviewees were selected to represent a variety of viewpoints, backgrounds and sectors, and generously contributed their thinking rooted in experience and knowledge ranging over a widely diverse set of disciplines and subject areas. These filmed interviews provided the raw material from which the lessons in the learning outputs were distilled.
