The eThekwini Municipality cordoned off the entrance to Heather Grove due to the collapses.

Several sections of a road in Effingham, Durban North collapsed on Monday morning allegedly due to a water leak.

According to eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality ward councillor Bobby Maharajh, this was the fourth time the road had experienced a collapse in the last 18 months. “I had received several calls from residents saying their water pressure was low and it was then that residents of Heather Grove told me that a constant water leak had caused several sections of road and pavement to collapse.

“What I find is unacceptable is that this has happened so often on this road. Due to the collapse, residents were unable to access their homes or leave them because the road was cordoned off due to the collapse.
