Cape Town will have more than just Vaalies floating around its beautiful beaches.
Camps Bay is not the only section of the coast being pumped full of poop, with the two other marine outfalls at Greenpoint and Hout Bay was also identified as pollution hotspots.
Is the City of Cape Town really allowing our oceans to become unswimmable and unliveable by pumping billions of litres of sewage into it?
While the City is probably doing its best under the circumstances, discharging sewage at three marine outfalls, two of them in Marine Protected Areas, is not acceptable.
When tested, some of Cape Town’s rivers and canals came up so dirty that they’re bordering on ‘untreated sewage’.
Turns out there are a lot of chemicals accumulating on Cape Town’s coasts, and it’s affecting the local marine life.
