Storage containers are popping up all around the residential area in Leonardsville.
Residents feel that the containers are a huge problem and have contacted IFP councillor L Bhoobun to try and get their issues resolved.
Residents told the councillor that the containers are being used as business premises and that illegal activities are taking place.
“I have seen people going into these containers to buy drugs and also for prostitution,” claims Cllr Bhoobun.
