Environmental pollution affects major tourist beaches in Cape Town

epa10374755 Water from a storm water drain runs onto Fish Hoek beach in Cape Town, South Africa, 20 December 2022. With Cape Town in peak tourist season some pristine beaches have been closed due to sewage pollution. In the past week both Muizenberg and Fish Hoek beaches have been closed at stages by authorities concerned of potential gastrointestinal issues due to sewage. Organisation ActionSA Western Cape chairperson Michelle Wasserman said sewage infrastructure in the city had worsened over the past few years. The city of Cape Town is monitoring water contamination levels and opens and closes the beaches according to contamination levels. EPA/NIC BOTHMA
