The second Citizen Science Awareness Workshop descended on Benoni from May 13 to 14. Held at Chief Albert Luthuli Primary in Cloverdene, the South African National Biodiversity Institute , in collaboration with the Department of Water and Sanitation and the NPC Nature Speaks and Responds, hosted the event.

Learners were also in for a treat.Boiketlo Thobela, in Grade Five, expressed her delight at learning about water conservation, recycling and how traditional healers work. The session’s second day was less talking and more practice, with participants heading to the Blesbokspruit near Kingsway Road in Daveyton.Although the river was in poor condition, the group managed to take some samples to analyse.

Pereko Setai, a traditional healer who participated in programme, said traditional healers should be cautious about the state of the environment in which they perform rituals.The initiative ticks off four Sustainable Development Goals – quality education, clean water and sanitation, life below water and life on land.
