SEWERAGE overflowing in Church Street, New Stands, in Thabong, Welkom.
Still stuck in sewerage Refilwe Mochoari TWO months have gone by and residents of Church Street in New Stands in Thabong are still living with visible faeces and sewerage all over their street. Emily Mokhotsoa is an unlucky resident who has the sewerage coming from her yard.
She says she has been informing the area councillor of the problem but she has had no luck or response. “My yard is full of faeces and I cannot move around in my yard. The street is also full of faeces and children play in it. “There is visible faeces. It is sad, because the whole street’s

drainage system is overflowing in my yard. The whole of Church Street smells like a toilet. “I do not know what to do now, because we have been trying to get help since last year. “Our children play in this sewerage and people are unable to walk without getting their shoes wet.
“My health is also affected by the sewerage, because the smell is horrible and it is not healthy to live in such an environment. “I cannot walk freely in the street or in my yard or open a window and unfortunately I am not getting any satisfactory help from our area councillors or the district municipality,” she says.
“I am pleading for help from the Matjhabeng Municipality to help me with this problem. Everybody’s faeces lands in my yard and I cannot live like this,” Mokhotsoa pleads. Vista contacted the Matjhabeng Municipality for comment, but no answer was received by the time the paper went to print.
Vullishoop onooglik Molly Green WELKOM “spog” nou met ’n vullishoop in die hartjie van die stad, reg langs die Mediclinic Welkom. En die hope word daagliks al hoe groter. Niemand wil pa-staan vir die rommel wat nie net ’n onooglikheid is nie, maar wat ook ’n gesondheidsgevaar vir inwoners inhou. Aanvanklik is net bourommel daar gestort, maar nou is die stuk oop veld tussen die Virgin Active-gimnasium, Welkom Square en die hospitaal ’n “volwaardige” stortingsterrein waar rommel gestort word. Vista het die probleem onder die aandag van die wetstoepassingseenheid van die Matjhabeng-munisipaliteit
gebring. Opdrag is aan die afvalbestuursafdeling gegee om die terrein op te ruim. Dit sal gedoen word sodra ’n laaigraaf beskikbaar is. Vista verneem die situasie gaan gemonitor word en oortreders sal nou boetes van tot R1 000 opgelê kan word. Die meeste van die rommel is boumateriaal en kontrakteurs het ’n verantwoordelikheid om bou-afval op die munisipale stortingsterrein tussen Welkom en Virginia te gaan stort. Verskeie nuwe ontwikkelings is onlangs in die gebied opgerig. Vista verneem niemand het toestemming om rommel in die munisipale gebied te stort nie.
