The Issue

Data centers. A cancer in the United States. 

Water shortages, noise pollution, animal distress to the point of hospitalisation, load shedding and mass air pollution as well as irreversible landscape changes. 

Data centers do not benefit the world. They destroy the soil, creating toxic wastelands and killing of local wildlife and plant life. 

WE DO NOT WANT THIS KIND OF DAMAGE IN OUR COUNTRY! 

WE DO NOT WANT THIS PLANET KILLING TECHNOLOGY IN OR NEAR OUR CITIES, SUBURBS AND NATURE RESERVES! 

STAND UP AND SAY NO! 

The South African government who sells our lands to the highest bidder and the DA that sells off the Western Cape to price out locals is now taking it a step further and targeting our communities DIRECTLY by approving the building of two data centers in the Airport Industrial area. 

STOP THIS MADNESS AND CONTACT YOUR WARD COUNCILLORS, MUNICIPAL REPRESENTATIVES AND THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN! 

HOLD OUR MAYORS AND CITY MUNICIPALITIES ACCOUNTABLE!
