Durban chemical facility United Phosphorous Ltd (UPL), where a massive fire broke out during the unrest in July, is facing a criminal investigation.

KwaZulu-Natal MEC for economic development, tourism and environmental affairs Ravi Pillay told a conservation and environmental affairs portfolio committee meeting on Thursday that a criminal case had been opened against the company.

The fire at the warehouse sent clouds of noxious smoke over nearby communities and caused a chemical spill that poisoned a river and wetland.
