Rotting sewage, rather than chemical pesticides, has been blamed for the recent fish kill in a river north of Durban.
This is according to reports by two environmental consultants, both contracted to the UPL agrochemicals group, who investigated the likely cause of death of roughly 1,000 fish in the uMhlanga Lagoon on 6 April 2024. |

At the time, there was concern that the fish may have been killed by residual chemical poisons in water that is being decontaminated at a pollution control dam (PCD) next to the gutted UPL chemicals warehouse at Cornubia. |
