One of the community members, Nompumelelo Themba, said the government could have prevented such a disaster if proper roads with drainage systems had been developed as promised.
“If the government had constructed the main road with proper drainage systems, as they promised in 2019, we would not be stuck. We cannot go anywhere,” said Themba.
