Mopping-up operations are still under way at the uMsunduzi River in Pietermaritzburg after the collapse of colossal tanks at the Willowton factory that resulted in a spill of 1.6 million litres of oil and caustic soda last month. Willowton Group said that the river and banks were cleared of visible product and that there was only a skeleton clean-up team on the river doing routine maintenance.
“In the coming days, the specialists expect to provide confirmation that demobilisation of the spill clean- up crews and booms can take place,” said Willowton Group spokesperson David Sweidan. The factory pledged further assistance to communities affected by the massive spill and to assist in both the short- and long-term rehabilitation of communities by installing JoJo tanks and boreholes as a solution to water provisions.
