He believes its no accident the flamingos have returned.

“We’ve been working on awareness with the nearby communities, especially those upstream, about not pouring chemicals or throwing rubbish into the water.

“The water eventually flows into the Blesbokspruit.

“It’s not just the flamingos that are back, the fish are too, and its great to see,” said D’Arrigo.
