Pursuant to our previous article Sports Complex is in a shocking state [ Randburg Sun week ending 26 March] resident Tertia Klopper has reported that the Randburg Sports Complex is still in the same dismal state, and without the issues having been resolved – particularly a water leak that has been going on since October 2014.
“The leak has been reported to management, Johannesburg Water and the local councillor numerous times and it’s still leaking,” said a frustrated Klopper. She continued and said that thousands of litres of water have been wasted because of the City’s inefficiency to repair a leak.
Other remaining issues at the sports complex, according to Klopper:
- Three power boxes inside the complex have no locks on them and a person can easily be electrocuted if he/she had to touch the exposed wires.
- Two open holes that were dug up years ago and Klopper expressed her fear that if someone had to take one wrong step then they will fall into one of them.
- Lack of pride by management and it can be seen in the general upkeep of the complex, eg the state of the basketball fields as both of them are full of cracks and there are overflowing rubbish bins.
With that said, Klopper congratulated and thanked the management for securing one of the main power-boxes next to the rugby field by adding two locks to close it properly.
According to Johannesburg Water spokesperson Millicent Kabwe no complaint has been received by the entity as no reference numbers appear to be logged on their system. Ward 102 councillor David Potter was notified and he said, according to management there is only a water leak at the baseball field. “The City’s call centre refused to log this leak and I have requested Joburg Water Operations Centre to log it for the repair to take place,” concluded Potter.
