Scientists and environmentalists have called on the North West government to urgently treat the cause of invasive water hyacinth across the Hartbeespoort Dam.

However, visitors are now greeted with the sight of boats stuck in a sea of hyacinth weed.

Environmentalist Patrick Ganda says, “It’s a cause for concern to both the public and government. If we can get rid of the pollution in the water then that would be a step in the right direction. The thing about the water hyacinth is as soon as you start removing it, it sort of creates a resistance. But thanks to Rhodes University, they introduced bugs which, we hope, will be an ongoing effort that takes us forward.
