Raw sewage flowing down the streets of Makeleketla in Winburg, Free State , has angered residents. They say their quality of life has deteriorated as the stench keeps them confined to their houses.
Residents have called on the Masilonyana local municipality to find a permanent solution. Residents say they have been living in unbearable conditions since September last year, as raw sewage continues to spill into their homes and run through the streets.
According to residents, overflowing sewer lines have turned roads into streams of sewage, while the stench has made it difficult to breathe or live comfortably. They say the smell is so overpowering that many are forced to keep windows and doors shut throughout the day.
