Spokesperson Bongani Gina says water samples were tested which is why they have been urging people not to swim in the dam because it is unsafe."We continue to plead with residents of Nseleni and surrounding areas to avoid swimming at this unprotected dam because no one knows how dangerous or deep it is and what's in it.
