The Pongolapoort Dam Stakeholders Association (PDSA) is a non-profit organization uniting diverse entities with a shared interest in preserving the Pongolapoort Dam. In the face of corporate and governmental challenges, we stand together to protect this vital ecosystem against policies and projects that put it at risk.
We actively monitor and report on threats to the dam, from illegal gill netting to unsustainable development proposals, ensuring accountability and enforcement.
We provide a platform for the public, tourism operators, and conservationists to coordinate, vote on issues, and present a powerful, unified voice.
Through petitions, targeted fundraising for initiatives like solar CCTV, and direct engagement, we drive tangible results for the dam's preservation.
