Hawkers Concerned After Dead Fish Discovered In Nandoni Dam

Residents of Tswinga and Tshitomboni outside Thohoyandou in Limpopo say they are shocked after discovering thousands of dead fish floating in the Nandoni dam .

Some residents sell fish for a living.

Provincial authorities say they have collected samples for analysis. Community leader, Philip Munyai says they are waiting for the results.

Munyai says, Indeed there is a lot of fish which can be carried by three bakkies, so its a warning to the community members because people are allowed to go and fish but once you see a dead a fish, how can you take that fish because you dont know what killed the fish, but yesterday Water Affairs came for their process of taking samples of water and fish for laboratory examination.

So we dont know the result and until such time, but we cant wait for results, dont eat a dead fish, once you find a fish which is dead, you have to avoid and tell others not to touch, he adds.
