This had been going on for too long, residents have sewerage pouring into their properties. What do we pay Rates and Taxes for??

As ratepayers we want Ekurhuleni municipality to identify the cause of the smell and take urgent measures to correct it for the health of the residents of Highway Gardens and surrounding suburbs.

It sinks and it gets worse and worse as time goes on and it’s unfair on residents that live around it. There houses always smell and they have to breathe that in !

Needs to be sorted. Bad for the environment. We use to play in that stream when we were kids catching crabs and frogs. All dead now and the smell is horrific. Can’t play tennis anymore either. Unhealthy for kids to be near the stream.

The untreated sewerage entering watercourses has serious health implications. Ekurhuleni Metro must be held accountable as this problem has been ignored for years now and is getting worse.
