There has been a failure at the pump station that discharges “partially treated” sewage into the ocean via an outfall pipe in Camps Bay, resulting in the temporary closure of Camps Bay beach.
While most of the beachgoers were aware that there were problems with the water quality at the time of swimming, they were unaware of the severity of the health risks they faced.
Looks like you’ll be gambling your health with your swims this summer.
Is the City of Cape Town really allowing our oceans to become unswimmable and unliveable by pumping billions of litres of sewage into it?
There’s no spreading your seeds so easily when the sea is shitty, that’s for sure.
