Thousands are expected to flock to Cape Town's beaches this weekend, but there are mounting concerns over the impact load shedding has on sewer infrastructure.
As thousands of Capetonians are expected to flock to various beaches this long Christmas weekend, concerns are mounting over the impact load shedding has had on the sewer infrastructure resulting in several beach closures. Acting Mayor Eddie Andrews said the City experienced daily challenges with inappropriate objects blocking the sewer network. The situation is compounded by load shedding, particularly the sustained higher levels that we have experienced. The impact is quite visible, particularly as it relates to our coastal areas at a time when the beach is a very popular destination. I think we need to accept that pump station faults can - and will - occur, given the ongoing load shedding.
