Matrics in Mauritius | Arrival

5 Drive’s Nick Hamman joins Bio-Strath, explorer Riaan Manser and 5 matric students on an environmental adventure in Mauritius. After a rigorous selection process, five lucky matrics won the chance to visit Antarctica on an environmental journey of a lifetime. Unfortunately, due to a Covid-19 outbreak there, the trip to Antarctica had to be postponed. But while they temporarily packed away their snowshoes, they also pulled out their flip flops! The matrics will still get to travel to Antarctica but in the meantime, they are off to Mauritius with Bio-Strath. Now in Mauritius, they are highlighting the challenges our oceans are facing following an oil spill in 2020, what is being done to clear up the pollution and the impact of the spill on all the countries in the region. They will also look at some other eco challenges we all face – primarily the shortage of potable water. Join Nick Hamman, Bio-Strath, Riaan Manser and the five matrics: Tswaledi, Anika, Mattheus, Kgosatsana and Keaton, as they take us on their weeklong journey of the breathtaking African island.
