The Ekurhuleni Metro’s failure to address sewage problems in Boksburg, where sewage is spilling from manholes, is unacceptable.
The Metro has simply ignored the reported sewage issues in Paul Smith, Charl Cilliers, Fifth and Sixth Streets in Boksburg North as well as in Nieshout, Fick and Sapel Streets in Bardene and Impala Park, despite repeated calls from residents and the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) over the past few weeks.
Two weeks ago, sewage also flooded the premises of the Ridgeview Village for frail care in Caravelle Road, Impala Park.
Residents pay for sewage services, but are exposed to unhygienic conditions jeopardising their health.
Ekurhuleni residents deserve better. The Metro cannot expect them to live and work in such appalling conditions.
