DPWI and SANDF to unveil 100 new bridges in rural SA

On 9 November, like-minded eco-champions will gather for the 12th annual Eco-Logic Awards, which honour South African individuals and organisations that continue to make positive contributions to the environment, their local communities, and the planet through their skills, products, or services.

The televised awards show will take place at the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, where the bronze, silver, and gold award winners across 12 categories, selected by esteemed environmentally conscious judges, will be announced. For those unable to attend the awards in person, there will be an opportunity to watch the event on DStv’s People Weather Channel 180 and Open View Channel 115 later in November and December.

“In these tumultuous times it’s more important than ever to recognise and celebrate the awe-inspiring contributions made by so many people and businesses striving to create a better, greener world. This, in turn, educates consumers about environmental challenges and empowers them to be part of the solution,” says David Parry-Davies, the editor of The Enviropaedia and founder of the Eco-Logic Awards.

“We eagerly anticipate these awards every year, and with the legendary comedic host Nik Rabinowitz returning to the stage, we have no doubt that this year’s awards will be a heart-warming celebration filled with belly laughs, and leave our guests feeling inspired to continue making a positive difference,” adds David Parry-Davies.
