OPINION: ‘Stream pollution is a cause for concern’

DEAR Editor;

Visiting my hometown is always a pleasure because my mother still lives there.

Imagine how perturbed I was to see large amounts of plastic litter in the creek at Namsus Road in Port Shepstone.

Recently after heavy rains, my heart sank on seeing a video with tons of plastic bobbing in Durban harbour.

One doesn’t have to guess where the pollution derived from.

Besides the plastic in the stream there is also a 20-litre bucket half full of used oil.

My grandson and I took a walk along the stream only to discover that plastic had already landed in the water and more was embedded in the lush growth along the bank.
