Greenpeace Africa activists, together with community members from the coalfields around Witbank, roll out a green carpet outside the Department of Environmental Affairs, urging the National Air Quality Officer to reject Eskom’s application for long-term postponements from complying with air quality legislation. A banner reads "Deny Eskom's Pollution Application".

The activists also constructed a wall of boxes containing the names of over 25 000 people who added their name to a Greenpeace petition calling for Eskom’s application to be denied.
