Ask Karabo: The Game-Changing AI Tool Fighting for South Africa’s Environmental Justice

Loading player...
In this urgent and eye-opening conversation, attorneys Tatenda Muponde and Dimakatso Sifatsa from the Centre for Environmental Rights unveil Ask Karabo—a revolutionary new platform empowering communities to defend their right to a healthy environment.

💡 Why This Matters:
✔ "Environmental rights are complex—but they shouldn’t be inaccessible." How Ask Karabo simplifies legal jargon into actionable steps for reporting violations, fighting pollution, and holding corporations/government accountable.
✔ The hidden crisis: Communities near mines & power stations suffering asthma, toxic waste, and "sacrifice zones"—while bearing the brunt of climate change.
✔ "Small wins = big change." Why one person knowing their rights can spark a movement (and real-world examples where it already has).

🚀 Key Features of Ask Karabo:
👉 AI-powered chatbot answering questions like: "How do I report illegal dumping?" or "What if a mine pollutes our water?"
👉 Community toolkits with step-by-step guides to tackle environmental violations.
👉 Roadshows & workshops bringing the tool to townships, schools, and mining-affected areas.

💬 Critical Quote:
"We can’t let profit trump people AND the planet. South Africa’s constitution guarantees a healthy environment—Ask Karabo helps us enforce it."
