Mutant Maggots Plague Cape Town!

Run for your lives!

According to international reports, rat-tailed maggots, every bit as ugly as they sound, have been popping out of basins, toilets and taps across Cape Town, sparking a citywide panic that health officials have tried desperately to calm.

Apparently, you can see the maggots with your naked eye – but that still wouldn’t stop me from practicing the ‘hover position’ (see second article below)!

An emergency call to Cape Town, however, provides some reassurance. According to SA Blog editor Ben Williams, the story has been blown wildly out of proportion – there is no maggot plague, and his own toilet and sink are quite clean, thank you very much!
