We are in the town planning and development business and have contact with a private plumber who was appointed last week by homeowners to open the municipal sewer line behind a school in Randgate.
Why can municipal workers not do it? And in Robinpark the sewer line is flooded knee-deep.

Those poor people have now installed a septic tank … just look at Greenhills and the overflow.
The municipality cannot even try to help their town (Randfontein) how about helping across the province?
