Say NO to the proposed regulations on state waterworks

For decades ordinary South Africans have used dams for recreation, fishing, boating and community activities. Now the government wants to limit these freedoms and even criminalise them.

The proposed regulations are not only impractical; they are a direct attack on our way of live and our property rights.

By signing this petition, I object to the proposed regulations because

• access to dams will be limited to forced approval.
• general activities like fishing and boating may be criminalised.
• I can possibly be criminally prosecuted for recreational activities that have always been legal.
• land owners can lose their right to use water from their own properties.
• government will obtain more control over private property.
• they may lead to paid access and commercialisation of water.
• they place unnecessary administrative burden on ordinary people.
• government focuses on control rather than on resolving the real water crisis and fixing infrastructure problems.

Our dams belong to the people.
Our freedom is non-negotiable.
Our right to property is not for sale.

By signing his petition, you object to the regulations and demand them to be withdrawn.
