Johannesburg: From the Riverbanks | Navigating the Jukskei | HSRC Connect

In this episode of HSRC Connect, host 'Odidi Matai-Sigudla speaks with the editors and contributors of Johannesburg: From the Riverbanks – Navigating the Jukskei, a groundbreaking book that reimagines Johannesburg not as a “city without a river,” but as one deeply intertwined with water, ecology, and community. The panel — featuring Prof. Mehita Iqani (Stellenbosch University), Dr. Renegan Raju (Social Anthropology, Stellenbosch University), Jane Eagle (former Deputy Director of Open Space Planning, City of Johannesburg), and Paul Malule (Alexandra Water Warriors) — explores the Jukskei River as both an environmental and cultural artefact. From urban inequality and climate resilience to grassroots activism and science communication for social justice, the discussion highlights how the Jukskei connects Johannesburg’s fragmented landscapes — and how caring for its waters can help heal the city itself. “We need the river more than the river needs us.” #HSRCConnect #Johannesburg #JukskeiRiver #UrbanEcology #EnvironmentalJustice #ScienceCommunication #ClimateResilience #Alexandra #InclusiveCities #SouthAfrica #ResearchForImpact
