Recent sewage spills are not the major issue in the Zandvlei estuary. They have just highlighted the impact of an ecological disaster taking place at the moment under our noses. Two of the incidents highlighted in this show reveal aspects of the disaster. One as a result of the sewage spill leaving a man fighting for his foot in hospital and the second the poisoning of dogs through what is suspected as a chemical spill. Even if these incidents cannot be proven beyond doubt as a direct result of specific spillages, they do bring the spotlight on the ecological disaster taking place. The volumes of plastic, general pollution, chemical and sewage spillages are turning our beloved vlei into a time bomb waiting. Can we change this? Yes but at a great cost to us and our communities
