This KwaThema resident reported the overflowing sewage to his employer Pamela Davies.
Pamela says she reported the matter to the Ekurhuleni Metro on July 8. “When the wind blows towards Selcourt Enclosure the stench is unbearable,” Pamela adds.
The Addie accompanied Joseph to the wetland where several African sacred ibis birds were searching for food in the sewer water.
Environmentalist Stan Madden, says these birds have adapted well to man-modified habitats including farm dams, sewage works, farmyards, abattoirs and refuse sites. In this habitat, the birds hunt for food mostly by probing in the mud for crustaceans, frogs, crabs and all types of insects.
Steve believes that these birds will come to harm from the sewage spillage and because this is a natural wetland, the natural life will definitely be compromised by the unnatural presence of the sewage.
