On the 5th of December over 70 protest events along the coastline of South Africa formed what journalist Kevin Bloom described as “the biggest ever environmental protest” in South Africa. The reason for the public outcry is simple – the Wild Coast of South Africa holds a deeply meaningful space in South Africans hearts. Much rides on protecting this sea. Not only is it the channel for the largest migration on earth – the Sardine Run, with all the tourism, leisure and fisheries jobs associated with it- but it is revered as a place of ancestral rest. As such it must remain unpolluted and pristine.
