Abstract: The effects of environmental pollution on African Rivers from the Nile River to the Mhlathuze River in South Africa are little understood. The information on environmental bioaccumulation, bioconcentration and biomagnifications of pollutants on organisms and ecosystems is of little consequence to the average person yet environmental health disorders related to waterborne diseases remain high FAO [1].
