DIRTY STRAITS: East London municipality faces court action over sewage spills that pollute beaches and riversRolling blackouts and the vandalism of sewer pump stations in East London are causing major sewage spillages that are polluting the city’s beaches and rivers. So many questions... why are the sections under resourced? What happened to the equipment they had? If the generators get stolen why aren't staff allocated to be on-site with a generator for the 2 hours? (Bring it, use it, remove it) Has the muni built or expanded sewage plants? Next they'll be stealing the sewerage in bags and sell that too!! ANC
