MANHOLE PROBLEMS
 
Missing manhole covers

The City Council of Johannesburg has recently lost a High Court case, after a runner got injured due to a missing manhole cover. Their argument, that they are not responsible; because the manhole covers were stolen, was dismissed by the High Court. The City Council stay responsible even if they are stolen.  They had to pay the claimant.


 
 
 

 
 
 
SEWERAGE PROBLEMS

The sewerage in our area  flowing into the streams and into the rivers ends up in dams. It pollutes not only Mpumalanga but also Gauteng’s dam and rivers

Overflowing sewerage drains 
 


 
 

Is this sewerage been pumped into the stream?
It looks like it – It smells like it.


 
 
Sewerage marsh?
