INJURY: VERY GRAPHIC CONTENT

Angler seriously affected by alleged contaminated water after cutting his toe

The environmental organisation SAVE the Vaal Environment added these photos this morning on Facebook, saying this is what happened to a fisherman who cut his toe two weeks ago in the Vaal River and got an infection from the water.

According to SAVE’s post it happened in the main river about 3 km up from the Barrage near Vanderbijlpark.

The pollutant is apparently called Aeromonas Veroni and according to SAVE, comes from contaminated water.

Vaalweekblad is investigating. More information to follow soon.
