                                                           As Jacklyn Cock writes about the nearby Kowie River rivers ‘have the
                                                           power to connect us to nature, to our past and to our collective selves’.
                                                           When things go wrong with a river, as with the Zwartkops, we can see
                                                           reflected in the water various social and ecological ruptures, also
                                                           historically. With the pilgrimage, we became witnesses of these
                                                           disconnections and divisions through a visceral experience that has
                                                           sparked much thinking.
