“On Tuesday, it was discovered that a recent alleged spill of chemicals and sewage has killed thousands of fish in the Isipingo lagoon in Durban,” said the organisation.

“These fish were washed up onto the shore. Anglers who have been fishing there for many years are devastated by the number of dead fish on their shores.

“The water runs black with pollution, and residents are warned not to use the lagoon, or collect or consume the dead fish.”

Marchers from Tugela, Mtunzini and Richards Bay will march through Mtunzini town from 10am, while Durban participants will gather at the promenade from 8.30am and march to the Amphitheatre at the beachfront.

SDCEA members will then hand over a memorandum to Durban city officials and representatives of the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE).
