PAUSE.
ASK THE QUESTIONS.
PROTECT CAPE TOWN.
Two proposed AI data centres near Cape Town International Airport could consume billions of litres of water and require enormous amounts of electricity every year.
Public concern is not about stopping innovation. It is about ensuring transparency, accountability and informed decision making before irreversible commitments are made.
Fresh Perspective Network supports asking:
💧 Where will the water come from?
⚡ What is the impact on an already strained electricity system?
🌍 What are the long term environmental consequences?
👥 Have local communities been meaningfully consulted?
📑 Have all environmental and infrastructure impacts been independently assessed?
Technology should serve people, not the other way around.
Progress without transparency is not progress.
If these projects are beneficial, the evidence should withstand public scrutiny.
Join the call for a temporary pause until the public receives clear answers.
