Raw sewage has been flowing into Mr Petrous Thekiso’s house in Extension 22 for the past five months.
The manhole opposite his gate is blocked and filled with soil and plastic.
The sewage from the backyard toilet has formed a little dam near the kitchen and Mr Thekiso was forced to move the kitchen to another room.
Mr Thekiso has lost count of how many times he has reported the matter to Govan Mbeki Municipality.
