Palmiet River foam under investigation
from ECR Newswatch Interviews · host East Coast Radio - Catch Up
Local ward councillor Melanie Brauteseth says urgent action is being taken after Westville residents woke up to thick, foul-smelling foam covering parts of the Palmiet River and nearby properties. Residents reported large, airborne “clouds” of white foam with a strong chemical odour, believed to be caused by pollutants entering the river. Brauteseth says the contamination threatens local wildlife and poses possible health risks to residents. She’s meeting municipal and environmental officials next week to demand answers and accountability. More news
