The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) will not rest until the sewage spill along the R28, at the Sasol filling station, is resolved.
Raw sewage has been spilling into the area for the past thirteen days, polluting the environment and posing a serious health hazard, especially to pedestrians who use this route between Krugersdorp and Randfontein.
It is also a major inconvenience for filling station customers.
The party repeatedly brought the problem to the attention of the Utility Department of the Mogale City Local Municipality (Krugersdorp, Magaliesburg, Muldersdrift), but no action has been taken to date.
The Municipality’s only TLB, needed for doing the repairs, broke down weeks ago. The other TLB was stolen years ago, but was never replaced.
Businesses are already under strain due to the poor economic circumstances and should be supported. They should not be left at the mercy of a municipality that is unable to perform basic duties.
The Municipality cannot allow broken infrastructure to hinder the town’s progress, forcing residents to suffer the consequences.
Residents’ tax money should be spent wisely and effectively.
The Freedom Front Plus will keep pressuring the Municipality to ensure that the TLB is repaired or that one is hired to carry out the necessary repairs.
