Seven months after the great flood, the eThekwini municipality has done little to stem the flow of sewage.

“Americans don’t care too much for beauty. They’ll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream. They’ll watch dead rats wash up on the beach. And complain if they can’t swim.”could be a lament for Durban in the summer of 2022.

Seven months after the floodwaters receded, the disaster is still being blamed for the province’s dysfunctional sewerage infrastructure. eThekwini now sounds a lot like Emfuleni, the vast municipality at the heart of the Vaal Triangle whose name is regularly accompanied by the words “failed” or “embattled” in press reports.
