Residents have started a petition demanding action from the City of Cape Town over the deteriorating water quality at the Zandvlei Nature Reserve.
Concerned residents say that pollution and sewage spills into the vlei are degrading the waters of the nature reserve in Muizenberg.
An online petition was started two weeks ago on Change.org to save Zandvlei Nature Reserve. It has garnered over 5,300 signatures as of Tuesday 20 April.
Residents are demanding that the City's mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg, and the mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Marian Niewoudt, meet with the community to discuss the immediate action required to protect Zandvlei from future sewage and industrial spills.
