  • Deadly toxic chemicals found in Durban's rivers and beaches
    It is not yet identified whether UPL’s warehouse was intentionally sabotaged or fell victim of the looting of their neighbour, Makro. But at around 2am on Tuesday, 13 July, a fireball exploded, ripping the roof off the warehouse and, with it, the sprinkler system.
    According to AmaBhungane, this birthed two problems: toxic smoke from the fire and a mass chemical spill as water used to fight the fire flowed down the hill, into a wetland and into the Ohlanga river.
    Fortunately, the investigative journalism paper has shared some of the deadly findings.
    The following was shared by AmaBhungane after they accessed the inventory:
    - More than 26,000 kilograms of Masta 900, an insecticide containing the “very potent neurotoxin” methomyl, for which “contact with skin, inhalation of dust or spray, or swallowing may be fatal”.
    - Another 1,800 litres of methamidophos, also a “very potent neurotoxin”.
    - More than 40,000 litres of products using the herbicide paraquat, which poses “high risk for all life forms”.
    - Over 19,000 kilograms of Terbufos, another “very toxic” chemical presenting “high risk to all forms of life”.
    Take a listen to how they went about investigations and why UPL won't disclose the chemicals that truly contaminated Durban's rivers and beaches.

  • Misconceptions that people have about Darren, Keri and Sky
    If you ever assumed you know Darren, Keri, and Sky quite well after listening to them on your radio for the past six years, we applaud you. Hopefully you have been getting it all right without any of these misconceptions.
    So, today, we asked each of the presenters what misconceptions people have about them.
    You might see Darren as solely an artist - comedian, actor, and radio personality. He has certainly done so well for himself in his career, winning renowned industry awards. But he is exceptional at something else too. Find out what.
    You might also want to assume that Sky's favourite sport is rugby because he is a rugby player and coach.
    Everyone also gets Keri Miller's diet wrong.
    Let's take a listen and adjust these misconceptions accordingly.
