Horizontal hydraulic fracturing is a drilling and stimulation technique used to mine shale gas.
It involves pumping vast volumes of water, sand and chemicals into horizontally drilled wells
under great pressure to create cracks in the rock layer to release trapped gas.
FRACKING IS UNSUSTAINABLE • WATER THIRSTY • DAMAGES THE ENVIRONMENT

| Treasure Karoo Action Group (TKAG) is here for YOU. We oppose the introduction and licensing of FRACKING in South Africa in the absence of conclusive proof that FRACKING is the only and the best answer to our energy and employment needs in SA. As a non-profit organisation (NPO), TKAG is staffed mainly by VOLUNTEERS. Since January 2011 TKAG has developed an enviable media profile – we are recognized, around the world as a counterpoint to those that would FRACK SOUTH AFRICA tomorrow. Through a comprehensive focus on research, our press releases, brochures and comics have informed many people in SA about FRACKING. We are especially concerned for those who live in the KAROO and know nothing about the plans of oil and gas companies to push FRACKING into South Africa. |
South Africa cannot afford to gamble with your water supply, food security, the health of your family, and the heritage of your children in pursuit of a short-term gain for foreign oil companies and our government. We need proof that FRACKING is the best option and a legacy that we will be proud to leave to our children.

Seems that #fracking jobs may be losing their sparkle in the US - http://t.co/qY6DnQ9c Hope SA Ministers Shabangu and Peters read the report
