@tonyr641 I don’t mean to minimize the danger to human health. In fact I wasn’t even considering it in terms of my beef with ABC reporting and its ‘both-sideism’ mantra (when it suits them). Or indeed why didn’t the ABC take on the task of ‘investigating’ and ‘reporting’ to the public the danger earlier on (when the bloom was first reported on). Nor was I commenting on SA govt utter failure to keep the public fully informed on all known aspects of the disastrous event. But yes. I agree. A clear and present public danger which should have been first and foremost in politicians’ mind when informing the public. An example of politics over communal safety which ought not be underplayed.
