Raw Sewage flowing into the Umzimkulu from Pump Station 6 again on 11 June 2024 at 11AM

Welcome to another Water Woes video...
Raw Sewage flowing into the Umzimkulu from Pump Station 6 on 11 June 2024 at 11 AM.
This particular pump station recurring nightmare has been playing out for decades now. So many UGU and/or RNM people and nobody can fix or explain the problem. And why it keeps coming back after it gets worked on.
This video is being logged as evidence for the future and is being referred to the Auditor General as they do their job of sniffing this kind of thing out. The Auditor General was here recently, and he now knows everything.
However, please keep up the video submissions as they are really helping the Auditor General to understand the extent of the problem. From the sewage running into the Umzimkulu. To the poor people carrying water home with them in the taxi every day.

Sewage spill direct into stormwater Ramsgate KZN 11 Sept 2022
The abuse of the stormwater drainage system by piping raw sewage into it is a major component of the system's failure.
This particular crime is carried out willy-nilly by private homes. Businesses. And in this case, municipalities. Who are inundated with labour issues on top of the load shedding presented by Eskom. Who also has about issues and union actions to thank for their pitiful performance.
Eskom failing all the time is a major component once again. When there was no power in the old days, backup generators were switched on. These generators are all but missing. All of them.
So now when load shedding kicks in, the pumps stop and overflow into the nearest river. Via stormwater as in this case, or across open ground.

KZN F
kzn-fish-kills-explained-by-professor
This video first featured as a segment on The Sardine News last year sometime. Professor Turton was kind enough to record this explainer, which we put some of our video libraries to.
It unpacks the reasons why fish die en masse as they do here in KZN, South Africa.
It's from sewage.
Raw sewage being poured directly into our rivers and estuaries, as the current and useless government completely fail. On so many levels corruption and greed have ripped the country's once famously up-to-date infrastructure to pieces.
The roads are unkempt. Sewage flows with every rain or power outage. Water is stolen and sold to the unassuming public. Cover-up the looting is the name of the game. This happens all the time and all over the place.
And it's the poor and helpless who take it squarely on the head.

umgeni-river-red-tide-explained-by
#ugu #rnm #ugucommunityalliance
Welcome to another Water Woes video...
Umgeni River Red Tide explained by Professor Anthony Turton
In the accompanying video, Professor Anthony Turton explains the recent Umgeni River Red Tide.
Riverine Red Tide
Firstly, I never even knew that red tides could occur in a river. But when the flow stops and the sewage just keeps pouring in, we have ideal conditions for Karenia Brevis. Our local algae family.
Certain algae species, like the dinoflagellate Karenia Brevis, colour the ocean a deep red, inspiring the name “red tide.” In ideal conditions - like a well-polluted river system as the Umgeni is - these guys flourish. They are able to reproduce on their own. So when the time is right, man do they party.
Once they have consumed every bit of available oxygen from the water, the water becomes eutrophic. The algae die and sink to the bottom. The water turns from red, to black.
This is the cesspit. The sump of humanity. Everything evil ends up here. Anti-retrovirals. Oestrogen. Any drugs people have been taking. In this potent mix of toxins, is where toxins thrive. These toxins are what lead to cholera. And staph infections. And death to livestock. Or anyone who consumes it. Or even comes into close contact with the waste.
With all these foreign substances now included in the mix, the pathogens and other evils therein start to become immune to the exact treatments meant to deal with them.
Bio-luminescence
Secondly, as aesthetically beautiful as nighttime bio-luminescence can be, it is also a sure sign of an algal bloom. And the more luminous, the worse it can be. Very bad for skinny dippers. Who might itch and even be short of breath when splashing around in an algal bloom.
Thank you Professor Turton for taking the time to explain this politically induced phenomenon to us.

HARDI
harding-part-2-chasing-sewage-from
Part 2 chasing sewage from Harding to Port Shepstone
Mr Bertie Strydom took the time and effort to shoot some more pertinent video concerning the Harding sewage fiasco. This time he takes us down to the Farmers Dam, just west and down the valley from Harding. Here we are shown the sewage as it flows and flows all days and every day, into this holding dam.
Which is now useless except as a threat to the people down river from Harding. Including...
Port Shepstone
Yip, Port Shepstones drinking water comes from the self same river as it joins the Umzimkulu. Barely a few hundred metres from the confluence, we abstract water for drinking. And just after that is the site of a proposed new dam by UGU. That will permanently interfere with the flood and tide pulses. Rendering the river as useless as all KZN's other dam impeded rivers.
The Umzimkulu River is the last free-flowing river left in KZN. And therefore it performs the biological functions of all the 100 or so rivers that we have destroyed with agriculture for profit. Instead of growing our own food, we all get in a car, burn gas and go shopping!?
Port Shepstone has a dire water security problem as profit-driven entities propose all sorts of incorrect and irrelevant solutions to the Eskom and load-shedding problem, the leaks everywhere, and the sewage in the river. Port Shepstone just needs an effective government munipality staffed with honest and hard-working people. Who appreciate their job salaries and subsidies. And who take pride in their work.
Trump was right when he said Africa was a toilet. 100% in fact.

WHY D
why-do-coastal-towns-have-cleaner-water
Why do coastal towns have far cleaner water than big cities: It’s a Catch22 for residents and businesses down here on the KZN south coast. We need the annual tourist influx to keep this whole show going. Without this revenue stream (stolen by Covid pundits), it’s been really difficult.
But, the same as every other ANC-run municipality in this country, ours have failed us miserably. And raw sewage pumps into the ocean with every single load-shedding session. When the power goes, the pumps turn off, and the sewage still flowing, bursts out of the system. And into the ocean.
However, as Professor Anthony Turton explains in this video, is that coastal cities have no centralised sewage plants the scale of anything near a big city like Durban. And most of us down here on the slow coast, have septic tanks which we manage ourselves. No government required and therefore no failures.
So the amount of sewage available down south is a tiny percentage of that which Durban dumps daily.
That is not to say that all beaches here are safe. Some of our most beautiful secrets, like Ski-Boat Bay in Ramsgate, have a sewage problem right now. Uvongo estuary is also a hotbed for sewage. Many people getting sick on holiday.
This is the reason for the existence of the Water Woes Chanel. To log the problems and complaints. And to follow up on results. It is being run in conjunction with our local UGU Class Action Group who are using these logs for evidence too.
Please look out for Tony’s next video – a real cool interview of Tony by Ilze van der Merwe and the Green Net.

Contaminated UGU water supply in Marburg KZN 1 September 2022
A Marburg resident recently suffered weeks of pain and discomfort after ingesting water from the UGU supply. So aside from unreliable supply and sewage leaks, we also have contaminated drinking water to deal with. Down here in the UGU district. Where our municipality is failing hard.
Operating a small business has become impossible. Just living is a challenge. Marburg is an industrial and trade hub. Endless water shortages are hurting the economy.

WATER
water-woes-behind-pick-n-pay-in-port
9 am 19 September 2022. Port Shepstone, KZN Natal, South Africa - failed state. Sewage pouring down the streets. Into the ocean.
First off it ain't the Pick n Pay. Or Kentucky. Responsible for the shit flowing in this clip. No. It is UGU and Eskom.
The failed state of the country and it's municipalities manifest in situations like this. Crime in broad daylight. And nobody on site. Ok sure its 9 am on a Monday and tea-time for government staff right? Because they ain't coming to fix nothing.
This shit will flow and flow until the loadshedding stops. And why do we have load shedding?
Because of the unions that now run our municipalities including eThekweni Waste Management - who are still revolting at the moment (see next short video that we upload). Protesting. Toyi-toying. About wage increases and overtime. These are the reasons we have no water, sewage, and load-shedding. Unionised municipalities and the divisions within the municipalities absolute corruption and ineffectiveness.
It is lazy, corrupt, ANC appointed people who have no idea as how to run a country. Cronyism. Nepotism. This does not work.
And put one third of the country on government grants (to keep 'em voting) and what is going to happen here?
Well it's happened already.
Shit everywhere.
Thank you the nice "woes" lady who sent this clip in to us.

Welcome to another Water Woes video...
In this record of what is going on with the UGU Municipality and it's performance of duties, we visit the biggest dump imaginable. Right under the town. On the totally wasted Transnet land that should be a resort development. Instead of a dump.
Thank you to Billie and Roosta for the classic piece of citizen journalism.
Which we can all do!
