Cape Town – A hip hop music video about the dangers of fracking in the Karoo has been launched in Cape Town.
Treasure Karoo Action Group (TKAG) produced the animated video, along with the vocalist and writer Jitsvinger - whose real name is Quintin Goliath - as part of their campaign to create awareness about why hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") should not be allowed in South Africa.
"Our drive against fracking has many elements – such as a legal challenge, a challenge to the regulating authority PASA, and community engagements. This music video will become part of our strategy, as we campaign against fracking in South Africa in general and the Karoo in particular," said Jonathan Deal, chairperson of TKAG.
The music video shows a male character walking across a vibrant Karoo landscape, which gradually changes into a barren landscape due to the effects of fracking activities. The Afrikaans lyrics explain the risks involved in the process and supports the images on screen.
The images are accompanied by a hip hop music track, with vocals by Jitsvinger.
