Klerksdorp-The sewerage crisis in Matlosana continues while council is in denial as usual,says Democratic Alliance.

Sewerage is running from Tigane across and next to a provincial road and runs all the way down into Hartbeesfontein. 

This flow of sewerage originates from different sewer connections next to a secondary school in Tigane and learners are continuously exposed to the health risks involved. 

“Besides the health hazard, it has serious consequences for a chicken abattoir which has HACCP regulations to adhere to.  Delivery trucks cross a stream of sewerage twice before entering the gates of the abattoir and again when leaving” DA Tiaan Kotze said.

The DA said they have reported the problem on a weekly basis for months despite the ANC council’s ignorance.

“In fact, without investigating, council blames the abattoir for the blockage which is not even on their sewerage line” Kotze said. 

Two weeks ago a cow was found lying dead in the sewerage spill. 

“Lies by council about their obvious incompetence will not make the problems disappear.   The public are no fools and the evidence is clear” he said. 

The DA said council must immediately remedy this Human Rights and Environmental violation.-TDN
