A huge cloud plume is trailing over Amanzimtoti and out to sea this morning (Wednesday, 29 August), the source of which is believed to be a textile company fire in Jacobs.

While the Sun has learnt that the smoke plume emanates from a Jacob’s textile company, it has been unable to confirm this as yet.
The huge trail of smoke across the sky has not been accompanied by the telltale smell of fire, leaving residents confused in the early morning.
