An entire ecosystem, which includes the oHlanga tributary, the uMhlanga estuary, the beaches and the coastal environment, has been seriously affected and may take several years to recover from the fallout from a fire at the UPL chemical warehouse in July, forestry minister Barbara Creecy said.
The Department of Environment, Forestry & Fisheries says it's finalising a report on the implications of the release of chemicals from a Cornubia warehouse.
An NGO working for environmental protection in and around Durban has set up a hotline that will allow communities to report any concerns they may have about pollution and other hazardous situations in their area.
