The City of Cape Town has declared the Disa River mouth and lagoon water on Hout Bay beach polluted and dangerous.
City Health strongly urges the public not to go near this swimming spot as the water has a high E. coli count and poses a potential threat to human and animal health.
There have been two isolated incidents where a Hout Bay resident and an animal have become ill from swimming in the water.
The affected resident was fortunate in that he recovered, but the animal had to be euthanized.
