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

Local blacks who have been trying to prevent riots are shaming the police for their lackluster response. One guy says "we are doing your jobs" to the cops. Good for them pic.twitter.com/cBzB4qiltn
