Footage shows dead fish/crayfish on beaches of Umdloti (North of Durban). Presumably, the runoff from the chem. plant in Cornubia that caught fire spilled into ocean & is responsible. Residents reported strong chemical smells coming from the ocean & advised to stay off the beach pic.twitter.com/tKZIRgg6th
