Residents visiting their local libraries across Cape Town may soon be greeted by a familiar face championing water conservation, as life-size cut-outs of the City's beloved mascot, Manzi, are rolled out at facilities metro-wide.
The initiative, led by the City's Water and Sanitation Directorate, aims to place water-saving messaging directly into high-traffic community spaces, making awareness more visible and part of residents' daily routines.
The campaign was officially launched at the Cape Town Central Library , where the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Zahid Badroodien, joined his counterpart for Community Services and Health, Francine Higham, alongside Manzi.
