VIDEO: Municipality yet to shed light on faulty street lamps in Enos Mabuza Street
There have been problems with the lights since September.
Reports of streetlights not working on Enos Mabuza Street in Steiltes have been confirmed.
“When I reported it, I was told that the street lights were not working because of the adjustments that were made to parts of the road,” said ward councillor, Tersia Marshall.

She confirmed that the lights have been off since the work on the road started in September.
“The cables that were not working have been replaced two weeks ago and about six street lights remain off. They, however, are not a threat to anyone’s safety or security when driving, as they are not next to each other,” Marshall said.
