Some of the drainage covers have been lifted and members of Toekoms have covered the holeswith pieces of wood. This, as well as the spilled sewage, poses a great danger to children playing in the surrounding area.

David Klein, a resident, says that one of the caretakers at Toekoms has lodged a complaint with the metro.

“The issue has been going on for a week now. It is unacceptable and no one wants to help us,” says David.

A media enquiry has been sent to the metro.
