About

This website is a compilation of a senior research project I conducted for a course I completed at UCT. This project focuses on the serious problems that exist within South Africas water and sanitation systems. The country is a highly unequal society, and this is reflected through the lack in basic water and sanitation for thousands of poor and disadvantaged communities across the country. This site provides detailed articles regarding these issues, current statistics, and a gallery.

Who am I ?

Thato Mlambo

I am a student at the University of Cape Town, completing a bachelor of arts degree in Multimedia production, majoring in film and media studies. I have a passion for telling stories through writing or visual platforms which is what inspired my studies in film and media. Outside of academic life, I enjoy watching good documentaries, physical exercise at the gym or going on a hike and reading.
