Recently while I was in Kosi Bay on a shoot taking photographs
of traditional fishermen, I realized that there is a huge problem. There is a
proposed Hotel to be built in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then to put the
cherry on top of the cake they have started “Dune Mining” just down the coast
with the plan to keep mining through the Kosi Bay area, all the way to the Mozambique
border.
As a journalist I don’t always pick a side. In this
case, the situation made me really angry. The indigenous fishermen and their
tribe are going to lose their lifestyle as well as their livelihood. This is
one of the most unique Eco-systems in the world, it appears that the proposed
activity is just going to destroy it.
I’m going to ask you for help to bring awareness to
this problem in the next few days. I’m going to launch a campaign to expose
this issue in an attempt to highlight the problem.
