The long-awaited and much-requested KM Seekoei Estuary water test results promised by our Mayor and MM during the 15 March public meeting held in the Aston Bay Community Hall remain elusive.
The Seekoei Estuary Forum PAIA application to have access to the tests was rejected on a technicality but withheld nonetheless; with a hint that KM will use the ongoing investigations currently being conducted by the Department of Environmental, Forestry and Fisheries in respect of the Jeffreys Bay Wastewater Treatment Works to continue to withhold the tests.
This is concerning as these tests are used to declare the Seekoei Estuary safe to use, as declared on December 10th 2022 just prior to the December holiday season.
Independent water tests show that the Estuary was probably not safe for swimming
A further point of concern is statements being made that we are doing this for political reasons and have a vendetta against KM. Why personally attack a group that is trying to hold KM accountable? Why the bullying tactics? Why victimisation? What is KM being investigated for?
