If you live in or near Johannesburg, you might have noticed a foul smell enveloping the area. The City of Johannesburg has confirmed that they are aware of the smell and are currently investigating the cause of it.
What was believed to be a 'sulphur cloud' was apparently caused by pollution from Mpumalanga’s power plants and industrial operations - which may have drifted towards the highveld.
The City of Johannesburg said it was investigating a foul odour that had enveloped parts of the municipality after residents complained that a smell akin to sulphur or rotten eggs hung in the air.
Johannesburg Water says it could take up to five days for water to return to normal supply once the work is completed.
Environment and Infrastructure MMC Michael Sun said that Rand Water needed to conduct the maintenance but this would affect areas ranging from Auckland Park to Randburg and Westdene.
