City of Durban warns of high levels of mercury in the Umngcwini stream

After the incident, the municipality issued a warning that people should not use the water for drinking or irrigation.

“My livestock get sick now and again. They sometimes fail to stand. In one incident, I slaughtered cattle after it lost its energy. We found its lungs with white substance that I did not know.” “We did not get any correspondence or information that the water in this river is dangerous, hence we still use this water for our plants. We don’t know what we will do now.”Bobby Peek from Groundwork says mercury is a persistent pollutant.
