The malfunctioning sewerage system has led to foul odors permeating the facility, making it challenging to maintain a conducive working environment.
” The unsanitary conditions compromise the health and safety of our employees, several have been plagued by stomach issues since this issue began” says factory manager Lucas Kunene. ” We have tried several times to get a hold of the municipality to fix the issue to no avail,” he continues.
Factory owner James Wu is flabbergasted as the municipality ignores his cries. Despite the factory owner’s proactive efforts to cooperate, the problem persists, leaving him and his employees in an untenable situation.
Not content to simply sit and wait Wu expresses his willingness to do his part to resolve the issue, which is affecting the well-being of his employees.
“The municipality must not just stay away from us. We all need each other. We need to work together. We understand that they are still learning but they must learn quicker.”
