Media Release: Watch the pre-screening of ‘Capturing Water’

Ubuntu Productions invites members of the advocacy community, media and the general public to a pre-release screening of Capturing Water, an 80-minute feature-length documentary film directed by Rehad Desai, of Miners Shot Down (2014), How to Steal a Country (2019) and Everything Must Fall (2019).

Event Details:

  • Date: Saturday, 30 November
  • Venue: Cine Centre , Killarney Mall
  • Time:  screening starts at 4pm, please arrive no later 3.30 pm

The film highlights three organised struggles. You will meet working class activists, bravely mobilising against water restriction devices and water privatisation; an activist farmer litigating to stop city plans to cement over an aquifer that provides affordable food to thousands of people; and a suburban activist tirelessly engaging a city that makes decades of empty promises to stop the sewage flowing into life-giving wetlands. Connecting the water bodies across the city and featuring the City’s views on its infrastructure and water provision responsibilities, the film brings fresh insights into activism and hope and challenges narratives around the myths of Day Zero, a story that is gaining international traction for global ‘solutions’ to cities elsewhere under threat of running out of water.

There will be a short panel discussion that follows, led by water activists and moderated by Ferial Adam that will focus on the role of community-based organisations and their allies in confronting the water crisis in Johannesburg.

To confirm your attendance, please RSVP by filling out this form or simply click on the poster. This is an invite-only event.

Capturing Water explores critical issues of water justice and inequality, we are excited to partner with the UJ Centre for Social Change to bring this important film to the screen. 

More Insights

In today’s hyper-connected world, customer experience is the battleground for brand loyalty. Every interaction, from website navigation to post-purchase communication, shapes a user’s perception. Yet, many businesses overlook a powerful tool lurking in the shadows – the transactional email.

Transactional emails, those triggered by user actions like account creation or order confirmation, are often relegated to functional necessities. But what if we told you they hold the key to unlocking a goldmine of engagement and customer satisfaction?

Here’s why transactional emails deserve a strategic seat at your table, and how the right service can elevate them from an afterthought to a strategic advantage.

Beyond the Basics: The Power of Transactional Emails

Transactional emails are more than just receipts and delivery updates. They offer a prime opportunity to:

  • Build Trust and Credibility: A well-designed email with clear information and a professional tone fosters confidence with your customers.
  • Boost Engagement: Strategic calls to action within transactional emails can drive users back to your website or app, increasing product discovery and repeat business.
  • Personalise the Journey: Utilise user data to personalise greetings, product recommendations, and loyalty programme updates, creating a more meaningful connection.
  • Drive Feedback: Leverage transactional emails to solicit feedback, identify areas for improvement, and demonstrate your commitment to customer satisfaction.

Choosing the Right Transactional Email Service: A Strategic Decision

Not all transactional email services are created equal. Here’s what to consider when selecting the right partner:

  • Deliverability: Ensure your emails land in inboxes, not spam folders. Look for a service with a proven track record of high deliverability rates and strong IP reputation management.
  • Scalability: As your business grows, your email volume will too. Choose a service that scales seamlessly to meet your increasing needs.
  • Ease of Use: A user-friendly interface with drag-and-drop email building tools and intuitive templates empowers even non-technical teams to create impactful emails.
  • Analytics and Reporting: Measure your success! Comprehensive analytics on open rates, click-through rates, and other user behaviour allows you to optimise your emails for maximum impact.
  • Integrations: Seamless integration with your existing CRM, marketing automation platform, or e-commerce store ensures a smooth workflow and eliminates data silos.

Investing in the Future: The ROI of Strategic Transactional Emails

By partnering with the right transactional email service, you unlock a treasure trove of benefits:

  • Increased Customer Satisfaction: A positive and personalised email experience translates to happier customers.
  • Improved Brand Loyalty: Building trust and engagement fosters brand advocates who champion your business.
  • Enhanced Revenue Growth: Strategic calls to action and targeted product recommendations drive sales and revenue.
  • Reduced Cost: Automated email workflows free up valuable resources for other priorities.
