Despite spending over R200 million on sewage repairs over five years, Emfuleni residents continue to live in deplorable conditions with sewage overflowing into homes, streets, and public spaces. The DA has criticized the municipality's failed efforts and threatened to escalate the matter to the Human Rights Commission if urgent action isn't taken.
Despite this, the problem persists. Notably, ALSANDRO Construction was paid over R24 million, and SOBANGENA received more than R23 million. He emphasised that the party is demanding urgent action from the Gauteng COGTA MEC, warning that if the issue is not addressed promptly, the DA will escalate the matter further.
“ELM is working hard to resolve most of the long-standing sewer challenges. Addressing sewer challenges in the area is ongoing work for our teams, our key objective is to find lasting solutions.”
