Mmaboya Water Source Contaminated By Sewage Leaks
Residents in Mmaboya in the North West province have filmed raw sewage flowing through their yards and into local water streams. Local reports indicate the municipality is facing this sanitation problem. The Democratic Alliance has involved the Department of Water and Sanitation regarding sewage concerns in Mmaboya. The municipal manager has been suspended amid efforts to reinstate a fired CFO. The party stated the situation requires urgent intervention. A local councilor cited oversight, neglect, and lack of maintenance as primary causes for the issues. The councilor also noted a lack of vehicles available to respond to reported problems. These ongoing failures have resulted in small issues escalating into community disruptions. The leaks are contaminating a critical water source in the valley.
