Refusing to DUC(T) for cover – how one organisation is making a difference to KZN’s rivers

Abstract

Rivers and people The non-governmental organisation, DUCT, is becoming known to South African households, and not only those that live in the uMngeni and uMsunduzi catchments where the organisation is active. In 2014 DUCT was the winner of the Mail & Guardian newspaper’s Greening the Future Award in the Community Conservation category. Later that year, the organisation went on to win an Eco-Logic Award in the Water Conservation category. South Africa’s premier canoeing event, the Dusi attracts 1 600 paddlers every year with their seconds and supporters and has become part of the culture of the region.
