Overflowing sewage at Gqeberha township seems to be a recurring issue, not so good to be in people’s yards because it looks like a dam of waste.
Nomvuyo Ncapayi is one of the residents who has been greatly affected by the overflowing sewage for the past two weeks. In the streets of Sizinzi residents says they have attempted several times to stop the blocked drains but seems like it doesn’t work.
These overflowing sewages are a problem in the area because children have been found playing in the murky puddles, this is happening because they do not have playground they are taken by flowing sewage.
It is very unhealthy for the Ncapayi’s family as the air they breathe is contaminated with human excrement. She says she is demanding a permanent solution to this thing. Nomvuyo lives with her daughter and four grandchildren, she demand solution as she fears for the whole family’s health also life.
“What will happen after formal houses have been built and when there are many people living in the houses? This is why I am demanding a permanent solution now,” she said.
Nomvuyo says the recent sewer burst about two weeks ago and the municipality had to come to fix it but no appearance. She says they only came and they left without fixing it.
Other residents like Sibongile Pakkies said her children can’t go outside to play because of the sewage and the mosquitoes it has brought. Mayco member of Infrastructure and Engineering Councilor Masixole Zinto had promised to send a team to fix the problem.
