Think carefully about the various pieces of legislation South Africa has to protect the environment, the public and workers. There are many such Acts, policies and legal means, yet the biophysical environment is far more polluted, degraded and under threat now compared to 30 years ago. Is this because laws alone do not work? Or were the laws poorly drafted? Perhaps they were not enforced or are too weak to make a difference?

Draft an argument detailing, with examples, your view of why the South African biophysical environment is far more polluted, degraded and under threat now compared to 30 years ago despite globally acclaimed pieces of environmental legislation. Statements must be supported with evidence. Simply rewriting sections of legislation will be a waste of your time.
