TOXIC:

TOXIC: Years of raw sewage spilling into Kamfers Dam, near Kimberley, have rendered the water so toxic that lesser flamingos, which previously congregated in large enough numbers to breed, have abandoned the site. Reuters reports that there were no flamingos at the artificial dam when it visited in May. By contrast, footage taken in May 2020 shows a dam flamboyant pink with flamingos. Belatedly, a court order has been secured ordering the municipality to fix the problem. Photograph: Reuters
