'The development is not only illegal but also dangerous, with power cables running through properties, and even under swimming pools and sewerage lines.'
The information that The Citizen has is that Erf 1119 Sagewood Ext 10 is a subdivision of 14 stands but was acquired and approved for sectional titles, but bizarrely serviced as full title.
The service road is so narrow that Pikitup trucks are unable to collect bins, there is a City Power cable running through houses, and in one instance, the cable is running where a swimming pool is supposed to be, just meters from a sewerage pipe. He said in the same stand, sewerage pipes have been laid next to a City Power high voltage cable, yet construction is going ahead at the city approval.
He said the settlement was nothing but a squatter camp, and that the only solution was to demolish houses as some are built on top of City Power cables.
