Western Cape government: Save Water
Why should we save water?
Fresh water is a scarce resource in the Western Cape, as rainfall varies from year to year. We depend on water to survive, and our growing population puts more demand on our natural resources, especially water. Everyone needs to ensure that our water is sustainable for future generations. Irrigating farmland for food production uses a large amount of fresh water.

In Memoriam, Pat the tortoise
Julia Kramer
That night when our skies turned red,
the fire monster roaringÂ
foul breathÂ
scorchingÂ
small creaturesÂ
scuttling
terrifiedÂ
scrambling
she trundled along
eyes wide
feet burning
there is the fence
and the wire
can not,Â
no
canât get away
away from the fire
Grande Dame of the wetlandsÂ
they found her,
after the fire
all the Kings horsesÂ
and all the Kings men
couldnât put this tortoise togetherÂ
again
rest softlyÂ
beautiful one
where the stream frogs know your name
that night our skies burned red,
life forever changed we said.
