"They haven't closed off or cornered off, and they have no security there," says Desmond D'sa, who is with the South Durban Community Environmental Alliance.

"Putting up a notice is after the fact. It is not dealing with the symptoms and it's not dealing with ensuring that people don't take that fish home and eat because people are hungry and unemployed in this country."He was called to the beach on Tuesday by local fishermen who spotted the fish. D'sa says judging by the strong, pungent smell in the air their deaths could be related to a sewage spill.

Local fishermen in Isipingo have been left distraught after black polluted water has killed nearly 1000s of fish in the Isipingo Lagoon.
