Cape Town - Faith leaders with climate and environmental activists gathered for the Global Day of Action in silent protest and prayer against the exploratory drilling of oil and gas in the Okavango Basin in Namibia and Botswana today.
A silent protest organised by Green Anglicans on the steps of the St Georgeâs Cathedral was part of the global call to action by the Southern African Faith Communitiesâ Environment Institute and the GreenFaith initiative.
ReconAfrica is in the early stages of exploratory drilling of three wells. Thirty-four bishops and three archbishops globally have signed a petition calling for the immediate halt to the drilling. According to the ReconAfrica website, it is estimated that the oil generated in the basin could be billions of barrels.
