Newsdeck: Swimming, surfing and fishing banned in Durban due to raw sewage in waterSwimming, surfing and fishing have been banned in Durban due to raw sewage in the water. Hundreds of thousands of litres of raw sewage is flowing into the port every hour. Blue flag beaches will be poĺluted as well but they take measurements above waterreine by digging hole . This means measurement inaccurate because partly filtered by beach sand . Joke . They voted for this SAns cry out for equality. I fully support the call. But, most Black people, who wish to be equal to most White people, need to be able to do the same things & maintain the same standards as most White people. It’s like most SOEs, Gov agencies & municipalities are in a mess. Why?
