suninternationalBased on a Sunday Times report, News24 writes that staff at holiday resort Sun City claim that damaged pipes have resulted in sewage-contaminated water leaking onto food that they have been given to eat.  

Irate workers have accused Sun International (SI) of ignoring several complaints by its own managers who did personal inspections of the basement; as well as ignoring a previous report condemning the storage area as a health hazard, and an internal safety report and video showing the leaks, which allegedly contained sewage.  SI has denied that any food was contaminated at the resort, but admits that there was a "grey water" leak.  Grey water is a by-product of water that is used for cleaning.
