Residents in court to force Makana to remedy crisis

Makhanda continues to endure raw sewage that flows down streets, past schools and human settlements and into homes, despite claims from the mayor that the situation had turned a corner. A group of residents has had enough. The 10 applicants are now taking Makana municipality, the Sarah Baartman district municipality and the provincial and national governments to court over the dire sewage spills which contaminate the city and its waterways.
