LISTEN: KZN continues to have sewage problems
Updated | By Darren, Keri and Sky
This is far from ideal for one of South Africa's major tourist spots.
KwaZulu-Natal is worried as there still seems to be an issue with water pollution.
There’s a one-minute video doing the rounds on WhatsApp of motorcycle riders filming the situation at what is alleged to be the Umhlanga water treatment facility.
WATCH: Blackened water gushes out of Umhlanga Beach stormwater pipe
In the background, you can hear the sound of what is believed to be raw sewage spewing out like a water fountain.
The facility looks abandoned and in very bad shape.
@Our_DA leader, John Steenhuisen, wants the party to institute legal action against the eThekwini Metro for the alleged violation of human rights and environmental laws.
