Dangerous levels of pollution in Cape Town s rivers, vleis and estuaries

A new report reveals that water pollution across Cape Town’s rivers, vleis and estuaries has been getting steadily worse for 40 years, except for a few years. The 88-page Inland Water Quality Report summary, released on 9 February, shows worsening pollution except for a slight improvement between 2010 and 2015. In a footnote on page 22, the City warns that the rivers, vleis, and estuaries are so polluted that swimming is not recommended. The coastal water quality report was released a year ago, and revealed widespread pollution of the marine environment. But this is the first inland water quality data made publicly available since the 2016 results contained in the 2018 State of the Environment Report. The latest data from 242 testing sites shows that many of our rivers, vleis, and estuaries have over time become so polluted that swimming or wading is not advised.

Noordhoek activists in court battle to defend wetlands, endangered toad The endangered western leopard toad is at the centre of a dispute as government approved a ‘crucial’ new Noordhoek link road. The new link road could drive the endangered western leopard toad species to local extinction, environmentalists warn. NOORDHOEK WETLANDS: WHY WAS COURT INTERDICT FILED? Since 2004, there has been a standstill between authorities and environmental groups about the development of the new road that links the edge of the Noordhoek wetlands as the project risks the survival of the unique toad species. However, on 15 March, environment MEC Anton Bredell signed a letter that dismissed appeals against his department’s approval of the second phase of the two-phased project.
