He attributed some of the challenges to shoddy workmanship. \u201cThere are potholes and drains burst everywhere in the area. I fail to understand why our area is looking like this. There is no area that looks like Samora in the province,\u201d said Ncapayi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He appealed to authorities to investigate the root cause of the problem. \u201cThe City needs to close all the streets and start fixing them again. There are streets that have had sewage for years. No one is attending to them. I doubt if we still have a ward councillor, because I don\u2019t see him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unathi Nana from Chris Hani Street challenged the community to rise up against the ongoing difficulties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is not on. It\u2019s been two years since sewage started flowing into the streets. It is high time that residents take to the streets and raise their grievances. I don\u2019t want to politicise this, but I must say the City doesn\u2019t care about us. Human waste is literally flowing in the streets,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She accused the politicians of taking poor people as their \u201cstepladders to richness\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nana said they are tired of their living conditions. \u201cSoon, the area will be in flames. We are tired of being treated like trash. The City doesn\u2019t recognise us. I feel as if we are marginalised on purpose. We are going to stand up and say enough is enough,\u201d said Nana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/city-vision\/samora-machel-cpf-condemns-attack-on-police-officers-in-messiah-informal-settlement-20241205\" target=\"_blank\">READ MORE |&nbsp;Samora Machel CPF condemns attack on police officers in Messiah informal settlement<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 33 councillor Lungisa Somdaka cited the collapse of underground infrastructure as the cause. He also blamed some residents of discarding foreign objects in the sewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe whole Samora is a mess. We have a challenge of illegal dumping and people who are dumping foreign objects in the drains which cause a blockage. That is why there\u2019s a drain burst everywhere and potholes,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said it is difficult to fix the streets because they are always wet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven if the City is tries to fix some of the roads, they become damaged quickly. I spoke to the community during a public meeting to educate them about the danger of illegal dumping. However, one of the major challenges which is delaying the progress in the area is crime. Sometimes the City employees get robbed of their belongings when they come to work here. And I make a plea to the community to protect them,\u201d said Somdaka, adding that it was everyone\u2019s business to safeguard the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somdaka said City employees are on the ground to fix some of the leaking pipes on Steve Biko and Helen Joseph streets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motorists and residents in Samora Machel are appealing for an immediate
