Residents of a ward in the Emfuleni local municipality, which is the constituency and home of mayor Sipho Radebe, are sickened by an overflowing sewer that has been an unwelcome part of their daily life for years.
One resident broke down in tears while relaying her experience in Tshepong township, where the air hangs heavy with a foul smell that residents say is unbearable.
When a Sowetan team visited the area, sewage was flowing in the street. Not far from it is a soccer field that has been turned into a dumping site.
