Durban - The Umhlatuzana River in Kharwastan, Chatsworth, washed away a pensioner’s form of income when torrential rains late last month caused it to overflow. which was parked in their driveway under the carport.
“In a second, everything was washed away,” Naidoo said. “When Merissa removed her car from under the carport, everything collapsed.” She said it was the first month without her source of income - the outbuilding - and she was not sure how she would survive financially.“So far, only people from the municipality’s electricity department came here, and the local councillor only came through last Saturday to survey the damage,” she said.
Both mother and daughter felt the problems were caused by a lack of maintenance by the eThekwini Municipality. “To date there hasn’t been a single offer from the municipality to assist or assess damages, nor has it made much of an effort to do any repairs to their portion of the land,” said Naidoo.
