💧 Is Cape Town’s sewage treatment failing its people?

Scientists are raising serious concerns about how the city manages and reports on sewage treatment. 🚨 Every day, over 40 million litres of raw sewage are pumped directly into the ocean. Rivers and wetlands are also under threat, affecting everyone – from farmers to surfers to families eating local fish and vegetables.
