Daveyton – Moloko Street residents are relieved after months of intermittent sewage problems.
Resident Angie Phahlane said battling with sewage every day was starting to affect their health.
“It started around November and we didn’t even get to enjoy our festive season.
“They came to fix it but soon after it started again.
“With the stench of sewage and all the dirt popping out, our Christmas was horrible,” she explained.

Several houses were affected by the problem.
“When it started we thought maybe it was the drain, but found out it was a blocked manhole as several houses were experiencing the same problem,” she stated.
The City of Ekurhuleni attended to the matter on Monday.
“We are hoping this time around the matter has been sorted for good, as living with poo, sanitary pads and used toilet paper floating around your yard isn’t fun.

“I had to sweep the yard every morning before going to work.
“I also live with an elderly person who could not stay inside the house with closed windows the whole day or not able to use the toilet,” she added.
