South Durban Community Environmental Alliance (SDCEA) is an environmental justice organization based in south Durban. It is made up of 14 affiliate organizations, and it has been active since its formation in 1996. It is considered successful for many reasons, one of which is that it is a vocal and vigilant grouping in terms of lobbying, reporting and researching industrial incidents and accidents in this area. It contributes to the struggle against Environmental Racism for Environmental Justice and Environmental Health.
