Raw Sewage Crisis in Khayelitsha
Families in Khayelitsha and Makhaza have been forced to abandon their shacks due to raw sewage flowing through the streets and into their homes for two weeks.
The City of Cape Town attributes the issue to a blockage in the main sewer line, with manholes overflowing as a result.
Emergency contractors are working to excavate and reach the blockage, which is 5 meters below ground, and are using pumps to contain the overflow.
- Affected residents from the Wetland informal settlement protested on Baden Powell Road.
- Residents, such as Phumeza Mazobotshwana and her son, are trying to divert the water flowing into their shacks.
“Today, I have come to collect my dishes, which are inside a cupboard.”
