Show Notes
Despite the Klip Rivers pollution, worshippers continue to gather for baptisms, believing the water to be holy and capable of washing away sins. However, the river is severely contaminated with E. coli, pesticides, industrial waste, and household trash, posing health risks to those who use it.
