Community co-ordinator

Thelma Nkosi

“People at grassroots level need to be involved in the discussion about mining and forestry and how it can affect their water systems, otherwise their rights get trampled over. We are all destroyed if our environment is destroyed. Life revolves around water.”

Thelma Nkosi is community co-ordinator for Geasphere, an organisation working to protect the right of communities to a healthy environment and to empower them with information on environmental issues that affect them.
