Umbilo River in Durban has been lost to the enemy

The Umbilo River in Durban has been systematically destroyed by raw untreated sewage flowing directly from the Pinetown Waste Management system into its once pristine and beautiful flowing waters.

From Pinetown, the Umbilo River carries its new payload - the very many diseases, bugs, viruses, pathogens, and toxins that come from raw sewage. This river used to carry a payload of shrimps, prawns, crabs, fishies, birds, buck, otters...

Today you will find exactly none of that anywhere near the Umbilo River.

What you will find, are more humans. Who use this water to wash and bathe in. They use it to cook food with. They use it to water their little veggie gardens. These are the forgotten ones. The ones that the ANC does not care about. They can't vote anyway.

And in this water, a gift from the ANC - are the substances that kill. Maim. Cripple. Flesh-eating bacterias. Superbugs.

It is not chemical spills. Or factories breaking the rules. It's the ANC crippling the country day by day. Month by month. By being corrupt and ineffective against any community challenges.

With an endless emergency budget - there is no excuse for being out-off-operation since April. As admitted by Ethekweni Waste Management's very own -Dave Wilson. On radio.

You can read all about that situation with an analysis of Wilson's radio remarks at https://thesardine.co.za/ethekweni-mu....

The fish kills in that story can be tied directly to the Umbilo River and the other rivers that flow through Durban to the sea. It does not take a team of investigators to add together these particular two and twos.

The crux is this. None of our sewage water treatment plants are operating properly. And the infrastructure - the pipes and things - are neglected and left to rot by the ruling party.

Yes. The ANC. Such an easy enemy to hate. After they won their little violent and necklacing war. They killed thousands with tyres. They then took this beautiful and profitable country to its knees.

And still are, to this day.

River by River.

Death by Turd.
