Over the weekend, the Democratic Alliance (DA), as part of Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, conducted an oversight inspection at the Engen Refinery in Durban which was the site of a major explosion in December last year. The explosion caused catastrophic damage to the facility and greatly affected the surrounding community. Residents experienced damage to their homes and many suffered from post-traumatic stress as a result of the explosions. This included elderly people and young children.
