“Cry For Help Over Raw Sewer”

By Florence Muzekenyi- This is a cry for help, attention, assistance on behalf of the Glenview residents, Glenview 3 First Drive, in particular.

We are in living in deplorable standards due to overflowing raw sewer that has become a sight in almost the whole of First Drive.

From 18th March 2021, I have personally tried to engage the local municipality of Glenview through the foreman Mr Rwakatiwana to lodge our complaint of overflowing sewer but to no avail. The endless promises that they will come to fix the problem have remained that, promises and nothing else.

Since 18th March 2021, we have not been able to use our outside toilet or sink due to the sewer that is gushing out from both the toilet pan and the sink drain. We had been using the inside toilet until yesterday when it also filled up and burst in our absence only to find the toilet, passage, and an adjacent bedroom filled with flowing sewer.

This recent outcome has rendered my family ‘toiletless’. My situation is just a glimpse of what other families in my community are going through, failing to access toilets. I dread to think what means other families who have no alternative toilets have been resorting to all this while.

The situation in Glenview is a ticking time bomb, another cholera and/ or typhoid outbreak is certainly looming.

If there is anyone out there who can help our situation, may you please contact us or just visit Glenview especially the road that faces the 2 High schools.
