SPCA rescues fish from slimy pool
People’s Post False Bay
|January 27, 2026
A total of 120 fish have had to be rescued from a “contaminated” swimming pool that had become a “dumping site” at a Fish Hoek residential property on Wednesday 14 January.
A petrol pump was ultimately needed to complete the drainage of the swimming pool.
The Cape of Good Hope's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) inspectors executed a court warrant to rescue the fish from “appalling” conditions at the property.
The six-and-a-half-hour operation involved six officials from the SPCA and the City of Cape Town Law Enforcement’s Animal Control Unit, following “multiple failed attempts” to secure voluntary compliance from the property owner.
