Hundreds of Soshanguve residents, north of Pretoria, have been unable to access their homes due to dug-up streets.
"I had tried to speak to a few contract workers when we started seeing that there was no longer progress on the development and they told me the municipality had not paid," said Mokoena.
He said when it rains the deeply dug roads fill up with water and turn into dangerous mini dams on their doorsteps.Another resident, Johannes Mutheiwana, said he has been without electricity for more than a month because service providers cannot reach him. "Right now we have been without electricity for over a month and we cannot get help from the technicians because their vehicles cannot access the area. People have been sick and no ambulance can access the place not even the police can't reach us; it's really terrible," Mutheiwana said.
Simphiwe Mthethwa said:"How do they leave us with such deep holes? Our gravel road was better because it was [usable]." Sowetan contacted City of Tshwane's Klaas Mofomme for comment last week, and he had not responded by the time of going to print.
