Therefore, active, and responsible citizenry is encouraged across the spectrum where people from all walks of life become participants in promoting healthy rivers. During the Clear River campaign, people should bear witness to the value of clean water, especially for their healthy development as rivers perform functions such as the ability to clean itself best when it is healthy. Everyone is encouraged to participate in cleaning up the water ecosystems, on any day during Mandela Month. The campaign calls on everyone to dedicate their 67 minutes of goodwill activities towards cleaning up streams, wetlands, dams, canals, and any freshwater source. This proactive approach is greatly encouraged to protect rivers, streams, wetlands and other water ecosystems, given the drought that still persists in large parts of the country. Under the theme “South Africa is a water source country, clean up and protect our water resources” the campaign aims to actively engage communities as well as promote and create ongoing awareness and education on protecting our water resources among communities, municipalities, government departments and industries such as mining, agriculture which are major sources of water pollution. Annually, the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) celebrates the Clear River Campaign in a bid to clean up and protect the water resources.
