Acid pollutes South Africa lakes

Acid drainage from thousands of abandoned mines in Johannesburg has poisoned major lakes in the South African city.

Experts say the toxic waters are rising at an alarming rate and are threatening to infiltrate the city’s fresh water supply.
 
Officials are now seeking solutions for the problem, which some have accused the government of neglecting for years despite warnings.
