A R12m sewer project in Orange Farm, south of Joburg, which started in May and was scheduled for completion a week ago, will now roll over to the new year after workers downed tools due to non-payment.
Subcontractors and employees told Sowetan that they had stopped work on the Deep South Extreme Emergency Sewer Pipe Replacement in Ward 131 after Joburg Water failed to make payment, resulting in workers not getting paid for two months.
Project manager Nomcebo Ndwandwe said the project was meant to be completed in seven months.
