Good morning

 

I am just checking that you did receive my original statement.  Please also note that this incident occurred on the crude oil pipeline,  not the old multi-pipeline which has been taken out of operation and was replaced by a new multi-product pipeline that follows a different route.

Hi Saret,

Your head office gave me your details when I phoned asking to speak to the company's media relations person.

I am working on a story about a large oil spill into the uMbilo River near the M7 at Bellair.

I have been sent lots of video and photos from residents in the area who are devastated at the pollution and are asking who is responsible and what can be done to clean it up.

I have also reached out to you on Whatsapp. 

 

Thanks in anticipation and warmest regards,
Evelyn Morris
