Im living in smelly water and the COCT doesn't care
I have been living in Langa Settlers Way for more than 20 years and over the years there has been a squatters living next to my house. There is a rain in front of my gate that has become a big problem for me because they use that drain as a dumping station.The drain is currently blocked every second day.Tbey bring a truck to unblock it but now the water has enter into my yard all the way to the back. It is smelly and I can't open my doors or windows.It went yesterday to the local Municipal to log a request for for it be cleaned but no truck has arrived yet. In 2022 we received notification that they would be installing new pipes in our area. That project has still not begun until now. I am currently living in filth Andi really don't think that is fare for me and my family.I also notified my Councilor about this and he told me his waiting on a response from the City. The people living in the shacks built on top of a drain and that is the cause of this blockage. I was told by My councilor that they would have to be removed to another place to stay but that should not make suffer while they are doing that process. I can't even get a car into my driveway because there is dirty water flooded in front of my gate. My gate is also rusted at the bottom because of this water. I can't cut my graas because it's flooded with water. I really don't think this is fair because if this was happening in an area like Constantia this matter would have been solved long time. I also pay rates like everyone else and I don't think is fair. I would like this matter sorted ASAP.
