'THE WHOLE AREA STINKS'
Rate residents of the Wetland informal settlement in Makhaza, Khayelitsha are appealing to the City to permanently fix the drainage system in the area, citing that their lives are in danger.
They accuse the City of ignoring the issue. The residents spoke out after more than five drains burst, causing sewage to overflow throughout the area.Resident Vusumzi Fulani lambasted the City and accused it of being incompetent. He said all they want is for the City to repair the damage.
According to Fulani all his belongings are soaked, and some have been ruined.
"All my electricity appliances are damaged by the dirty water. I was at work when all this mess started. When I arrived from work my shack was already flooding. Now, I'm squatting in my cousin's place at Mpolweni informal settlement. All my clothes and blankets are dirty and smelling," said Fulani.
Fulani said he wouldn't mind being relocated, as long as they're given a decent place to live.
Community leader Thandiswa Mashiyane-Kungwana said the incident occurred Tuesday 7 October and is still not fixed. She adds that more than 40 shacks are flooding and those affected had to vacate their shacks.

Will Sona optimism translate to real change?
While President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke of a strengthening rand, falling inflation, and renewed investor confidence during his State of the Nation Address (Sona) at Cape Town City Hall on Thursday 12 February, many of us woke up the next morning to a far less reassuring reality: dry taps, rising living costs, unemployment queues, and neighbourhoods where safety cannot be taken for granted.
