DA demands action in repairing sewage leaks

In a letter to the Mayor, Gaba Ka Qhele, and the Municipal Manager, Sandile Tyatya, the DA urged the municipality  to quickly allocate technical teams to fix massive  sewage leaks in Ikageng, Promosa, and Mohadin.

The DA have been approached by many residents for assistance in the affected areas.

It has become increasingly difficult for the municipality to repair leaks in the last few years as complaints from residents and workers have increased significantly.

“There is raw sewage leaking into homes and yards, and the stench is unbearable. As a result, residents, workers, the elderly, and children are at risk of serious health problems. Despite making promises to improve service delivery, the municipality is falling apart, ” the statement reads. 

” Roads are deteriorating, refuse is collected erratically, and neighbourhoods are awash with raw sewage and purified clean water flowing down streets,” it continues. 

The most  affected areas are:
Ikageng
• 779 Ntlatseng Street
• 79 Areaganeng Street
• 18248 Sisulu Street
• 774 Ntlaseng Street
• 2341 Extension 3

Promosa
• 10 Stanley Avenue
• 56 Daniel Street
• 23 Robert Avenue
• 20 Henry Street
• 2 Abram Street
• 104 Daniel Steet
• Park Bloemtjie Streeta next to Promosa Primary School
• 33 Adolf Willemse Street Promosa Aksiepark
• Promosa Road between the Stadium and Poortjie Dam

Mohadin
• 46-48 Omar Street
• Sooliman Street in front of the Stadium
• Haffejee Street next Mohadin Hall

The DA will closely monitor the response and expected action from the municipality and continue to fight for residents of JB Marks.
