Some residents of Umkomaas spotted the formation of foam at the river this morning.
Guesthouse owner Mick Clarke says he was on his regular morning drive when he noticed the foam, and stopped to take a photo of it.
"As the minutes progressed, this foam just started getting worse and worse and worse, foam just kept growing and growing, until at one point it was over two metres high. It was an amazing spectacle; it was like a giant jacuzzi of foam," he said.
