Sadly people do not flush their engines before they come to the coast. On the river bordering my property they spray yearly on the hyacinth to try and kill it.

It's been going on for years, honestly, I don't think so. At best, they're keeping it "in check".

Kan mens daai goed vrek spuit? Dis tog breëblaar gif behoort hom te knou. Sandbang is daar n gif wat hom veilig op die water kan dooi?
 
Is it even possible to pollute Harties any more than it already is?
I remember reading an article on research done through Tukkies & Wits in Farmers Weekly years ago about the terrible state of the dam, and it's doubtful things have improved
