1.According to Kohler (2016)South Africa is the 30th driest country in the world. Because we don't receive a lot of rain, when it rains the soil evaporates the water and it re-enter the atmospheric phase almost instantly a challenge that South Africa face is that only 20% of SA ground water can be used which limits the water availability even further. The need of water intensifies each year with more people demanding more water.
According to Sarkodie and Adams(2020) many South African Citizens can't afford electricity and are not easily accessible to a lot of people.
2.According to Calma(2011)social justice basically means to find a balance between our responsibilities as a society and our responsibilities as individuals to contribute to a society.
3.According to Rathzel 2018 environmental social justice means that it is a type of justice for people who has been "left out" during environmental problems. For example in SA all the mines pollute the air, so the environmental justice is there to help those who suffers under the environmental conditions.

5.The sate of the environment in South Africa is very bad sadly it is getting worse. Almost all of our resources such as a coal for electricity and water resources are finished. So we are forced to use other more expensive ways to provide electricity and water to people. This is not convenient, because a lot of people in South Africa are poor and cannot afford to make change.
