To think of the Bushman’s River as the lifeblood of some communities after seeing the sewer spill leaking into it, is disgusting and saddening. The leak seems to “settled in” as a deep furrow transports the foul mess into the river. A reporter from the Estcourt News noticed the foul overflowing contents spilling into the river two weeks ago. A supervisor from Uthukela District Municipality was notified of the leak on Monday, November 11 but there was no response. A week later and the river is still being polluted. A second call was made on Monday, November 18 with promises being made that it would be attended to as soon as possible, let’s hope so!
