Jodie Polley joins Eon Engelbrecht in studio to talk about the new movement, SA Women Fight Back. 

SA Women Fight Back was started on the 8th of August when one woman, Bronwyn Litke, learned about yet another heartless murder and simply decided, “enough is enough”. 

She started the group the day Meghan Cremer's body was found. This for her, and for many women across South Africa, was the final straw. The vision for SA Women Fight Back is to cultivate a united front among our female citizens, against violent crimes and femicide in our country. 

"With strength in unity we hope our call is heard. We call for harsher sentencing on all rape and murder cases in our country, access to life saving information, education, as well as, resources granted for all community programmes".

Aldo Kleyn is looking after the chameleons in Knysna. He’s even planning on opening a chameleon sanctuary here in town in Pledge Square in the near future.

Yesterday a female chameleon was brought to him by a caring lady that found the chameleon on the sidewalk in Knysna... The chameleon died a slow and painful death as you will see on the video he posted on Facebook (that's on the Knysna Dwarf Chameleon FB Page)

Captioning the video, Aldo wrote: this is what happens when a chameleon eats an insect that has been poisoned but is still flying around... The poor chameleon died from ingesting chemical poison of some sort... that's why her eyes popped out and her skin coloring shows the poison spreading through her body... so very sad.

He is appealing to everyone (including the Knysna Municipality) to please use environmentally friendly products in your garden.

Just remember, killing off all of the insects in your garden is not the desired result here, as any healthy ecosystem requires an abundance of beneficial insects, microbes, and fungi, both in the soil and on the plants themselves, so introducing other predatory insects (ladybugs, praying mantis, etc.) or creating good habitat for them, as well as building soil fertility, can also be an effective pest management approach.

In Knysna there’s someone you can call to give you advice on eco-friendly insecticides. His name is Dermot - 082 855 8688

And if you want to speak to Aldo or if you should find an injured or ill chameleon, his number is 073 299 0598.
