Sewage spills petition gains support
Cape Argus
|January 20, 2026
A PETITION launched by the advocacy group Bays of Sewage Helderberg calling for an end to sewage spills has garnered close to 3000 signatures since the start of the year.
The group is calling on the City of Cape Town to adopt a pollution control response, formally recognise ratepayer associations as stakeholders in Subcouncil 8 decisions, and implement enhanced water-quality monitoring with independent oversight and daily public dashboards, among other demands.
According to the petition, the community has experienced repeated beach closures and ongoing sewage discharges into key recreational areas.
Water quality advocate Jamii Hamlin, of Bays of Sewage Helderberg, said that while the group acknowledges the City’s sewer network upgrades in the Helderberg and other areas, water quality remains unreliable.
