Zandvlei estuary

Poo water sewrage yuk.. Very disgusting sis man:X vlei smells horrible I highly recommend that no one goes near the water very toxic our government is to stupid and sleg to do anything they can do nothing right period:X
 
There's hardly any fish left in the vlei
I have a sulution to mention but government dnt have the brains to think..let me explain and I'm sure lots of you fishermen would agree with me.. Instead of waisting thousands of Rands on bulldozer just to open and close the mouth rather build a permanent gate that can be opened up and closed automatically..this way water levels will be very high with fresh water pushing in on a regular basis..
 
Catch alot of cob steenbras elf leeries spotted grunters by trek net from sea and put the fish female and males inside the water and stock up the fish on a weekly basis.. Letting them breed fast this way the vlei will flourish with fish there will always be fish in water.
 
Instead of law enforcement sitting on there
Ases let them petrol up and down on a regular basis to check that no one is poaching the new fish..
 
I must always think for the stupid sleg government instead of stealing all the people money they can spend it rather on zandvlei I tell you now I would pull this vlei right in one month time period..they just dnt have the brains to think that's why everything is so F%+433up..:Xthey so lazy doing nothing..

Issue 1.

The lack of infrastructure for the development around these areas predates 1994. WC mostly DA run for the majority of those 27 years, and let's just keep developing and approving more housing development....

Tableview is now basically at Melkbos if it wasnt for 1 hill in the way. Potsdam sewerage works has never been able to handle what it's getting, and as such Milnerton lagoon is now dead. The "algae bloom" excuse or Municipal lingo for we just allowed the sh%&&T to flow into the lagoon is now old. City knew they stuffed Milnerton lagoon up so bad they have actually written a bylaw making it illegal for you to publish test results if you have someone else test the quality!!!

Zandvlei is exactly the same. They have been moaning about Algae Blooms, but most of us know the difference between a Romany Cream and turd!

Which spacial planning expert allowed for the sewers of the prestigious lake front developments to simply overflow into Zandvlei when there is too much rain?

As for the fish, i saw a tender out now for the tagging of fish in Zandvlei for a study... good luck to the anglers finding any!

You can add as many fresh/new/baby/fingerlings as you want if the lagoon water quality is up to poopoo, it won't last.

The idea of simply opening the lagoon onto and into a Blue Flag beach is just as crazy. Mullet caught in front of Zandvlei for export had an Ecoli count in the meat that made them unusable!
 
Ja its pretty sif..But all the waters around Cape Town are pretty sif..There has not been proper planning for sewerage treatment for the entire city, the atlantic seaboard just filters out tampons and condoms and pumps the s#it out to sea, only a couple of hundred meters offshore, through very broken pipes. I've nearly died from life threatening infections twice in my years of surfing Sea Point. Nevermind the industrial pollution etc, most of the sediments in sandvlei are contaminated with heavy metals also from the industry in retreat, mainly automotive works and painting industries. Sorry bud, I don't have any suggestions, eventually I just moved away to better and greener, and bluer pastures..it used to be pretty sif years ago, now its just worse. I saw these surfers so stoked to paddle out last week at strandfontein, there was a layer of sewerage whipped up foam on the water that stank so bad..I dont know how they don't realize they are swimming in poo ?!
 
@#$%'ing Zuma..thats all I gotta say..Him and his bunch of merry thieves did really turn our country into a dysfunctional state of affairs. It wasn't too functional to begin with..now its like the state of sandvlei, just a metaphor for the rest of the s#$%show..
