Llandudno Beach, a picturesque escape for sun-seekers, was marred by an unpleasant sewage overflow on Tuesday, as the stench from a blocked sewer system sent beachgoers fleeing.
Witnesses reported a troubling pool of sewage forming on the sandy shores, prompting immediate concerns for public health and safety.
According to a statement from the City of Cape Town, the blockage stemmed from various foreign objects improperly disposed of in the sewer line.
