1. According to Kohler (2016), South Africa ranks number 30 as being one of the driest countries in the world. The fact that it hardly rains, when it rains the ground evaporates the water and it goes into the atmospheric phase quickly. The fact that only 20% of our ground water can be used means that the water availability is limited and this gets worse each year so a lot of people lack water.

Sarkodie and Adams (2020) said that a lot of people in South Africa cannot afford electricity and only 'rich' people can afford it.

2. Calma (2011) defined social justice as finding a balance between the responsibility of a society and the responsibility of individuals to contribute to a society.

3. Rathzel (2018) defined environmental social justice as a type of justice for those who were "left out" during environmental problems. For example, all the factories in our country that pollutes the air having a negative impact on the environment and people. Hence, helping those who are affected by environmental problems would be environmental social justice. 

4. The Wedland Project helps by purifying water, providing it and managing its flow in poverty areas and this project also helped with proving job opportunities to +- 2000 people living in poverty. 

5. South Africa's environmental state is very bad, most of the resources to produce water and electricity are becoming scarce and this pushes us into using more expensive alternatives to get water and electricity. This only makes matters worse because there are a lot of people already living in poverty.
