Steadville residents in dire situation as sewage floods streets
They complain that they have been living in these terrible conditions for over four months now
Residents of John Gumede Drive in the Rooi area of Steadville are outraged over the constant stench from the sewage that flows freely down their street and near their houses.
They complain that they have been living in these terrible conditions for more than four months now and what makes them even angrier is that they have informed uThukela District Municipality about their situation, but nothing has been done about it.
Residents of this area told a Ladysmith Gazette reporter that they do not feel safe from the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, as they are living with a health hazard.
“The sewage stinks to high heaven! We are unable to take a walk in our own street because there is sewer water all over the road. We have very young children in this area who play in the street and now we fear that they might get sick,” said resident Akhosi Jopseh Mokoena.
