Klerksdorp Rekord, Hartbeesfontein - Die DA eis ingryping deur die Matlosana munisipaliteit om die rioolramp aan te spreek wat boorgate vergiftig, besighede verlam en gesinne in gevaar stel.
Volgens rdl Maritha Coetzee word inwoners gedwing om met die ondraaglike stank van riool saam te leef, gesinne kan nie hul deure en vensters oopmaak nie, kinders word blootgestel aan gesondheidsrisiko’s, en plaaslike voedselondernemings ly daagliks. Kleinhoewes wat aan die hoofrioollyn grens, word ook geraak, aangesien oorlopende riool boorgate besoedel wat deur beide inwoners en diere gebruik word.
