South Africa's #SaveWater mascot Splash is scarier than the drought
“Splash” — the #SaveWater mascot composed of a water droplet shaped head, no neck, a green-and-gold suit, and a creepy crotch hashtag — was revealed to the world this week at the DWS’s #SaveWater ambassador campaign launch. “The #SaveWater ambassador programme is a multi-sectoral initiative that includes a wide array of partners including Miss Earth SA, Operation SA, Tsogo Sun to ensure that Department works collaboratively with stakeholders to find solutions to the challenge of water scarcity,” the DWS writes on Twitter.And while that’s a splendid initiative, could they maybe have worked a bit harder on making Splash less terrifying?
