There are so many stories about the river. Today we had a group meeting and listed our story ideas.
I had thought that the Jukskei river was a boring topic. Now I know it is not.
We have enough stories for two months or more.
Here are some of them:
There are rats eating the children of Alex because they breed well in the car wrecks lying in the water.
There are a shortage of toilets in the city so sewerage spews into the river.
There is not proper maintenance of pipes and manholes along the river's course so more sewerage is spewing into the river.
This means Bruma lake is one parts sewerage to two parts water . It stinks so badly that hotels near the river are struggling to keep their businesses running.
There are river guardians who have worked for years to save the river.
And the stories just keep on coming and coming and coming.
I think it is so interesting that a topic, which at first appeared boring has so much to it. How many other stories are out there waiting to be written?
