Abstract

The Western and Eastern Cape in Southern Africa are at risk as a result of climate change. The regional farming areas surrounding metropolitan Cape Town and metropolitan Mandela Bay face water insecurity. As a result, these city areas have been required to restrict their water usage. A range of NGOs and some farmers in the Western Cape made donations of water. For example, some of the farmers released water from their private dams, in order to help residents in the city area.

De Wet (2018) ‘As of noon on Monday, virtually every domestic borehole user in the Western Cape started to break a rule that was, at the time, less than 72 hours old. While the potential consequences for these residential users are neither clear nor seem imminent, existing rules mean their agricultural counterparts could face up to 5 years in jail for the same breach. And though the department of water and sanitation says, it is not looking to send anyone to prison just yet that may not help when it comes to future disaster relief’.https://​mg.​co.​za/​article/​2018-01-18-tough-new-regulations-hit-western-cape-borehole-users.

Meanwhile habitat loss leads to confrontations. For example, in Cape Town the local baboon troops are competing with residents on the side of the mountain in Murdoch Valley (Jeranji, 16 January 2018):
‘Dodger was a young dispersing male from the Slangkop troop who first showed up in the Da Gama troop home range in October. Dispersing to new troops is vital to keep gene pools strong—even more so on the Peninsula where traditional migration routes on and off the Peninsula have long since been cut off by urban sprawl’.

Ironically fake news is now being accused of suggesting that Malania Trump has a double and that when Trump refers to his wife as ‘being right here’, that too could be doubted! George Bush Junior (2002) recently published a book called ‘Reflections on my father’ in which the life of American politics is described from the point of view of the status quo. I read it at the height of the North Korean nuclear standoff in the form of twitter posts by Trump to Kim Jong Un.
The Republicans of the past and the present are different in that their sense of values and service has changed. But this is perhaps because the public of the past and present has changed too. They are more media savvy, more overwhelmed with information and rather lacking in wisdom. This morning I was woken by a news cast by Bush senior saying Americans need to reconnect with values of decency to define them and not let bullying define the culture of the nation. Archives, digital media and daily news feeds are the lens for everyday teaching and research in the Anthropocene.
