This is not the only house affected.
Ms Florence Riba stays in the house with her family and says they cannot take it any more. Some of her furniture was damaged when one day she came home and found her house flooded with sewerage water.
“We have been living in this bad situation for the past two weeks and we cannot take it any more. I have to move my children to my relatives’ because they might get sick. I have been send from pillar to post by different officials,” she noted.
Riba suspects that the problem was caused by the sewerage pipe joined to the mall.
She said her first stop was the mall and she was referred to Mr Vusi ‘MaSeven’ Nhlapho.
Nhlapho told her that he was busy trying to help all the affected families.
Nhlapho also mentioned that he was referred to director responsible at the municipality. He was told to contact the mall developers and together with the municipality they must first assess the problem and fix it.
Riba said they couldn’t sleep in the house because of the smell and the water coming out of the toilet. She said the sewage water flowed all over her yard and she was not receiving help as she even contacted the ward councillor.
Effort to contact the ward councillor and developers failed as their phones rang unanswered.
