Nonhle Mbuthuma and Sinegugu Zukulu’s Acceptance Speech, 2024 Goldman Environmental Prize

Nonhle Mbuthuma and Sinegugu Zukulu accept the 2024 Goldman Environmental Prize for South Africa.
In September 2022, Indigenous activists Nonhle Mbuthuma and Sinegugu Zukulu stopped destructive seismic testing for oil and gas off South Africa’s Eastern Cape, in an area known as the Wild Coast. Organizing their community, Nonhle and Sinegugu secured their victory by asserting the rights of the local community to protect their marine environment. By halting oil and gas exploration in a particularly biodiverse area, they protected migratory whales, dolphins, and other wildlife from the harmful effects of seismic testing.
