Durban - NEARLY three years after the October 2017 storm left a trail of destruction in various parts of eThekwini district, damaging almost 1 300 homes, only 229 units have been repaired by the municipality.
“I don’t understand why they are failing to assist us as most of the damage here was caused by the municipal stormwater pipe. We have waited for too long. We wish that the house could be fixed before December because we have endured enough hardship already.”“It can’t be right that in the third financial year after the 2017 storm there are families still living in squalor.
In March last year R46million was paid to the municipality for the 2018/19 period to attend to 367 affected units.
