Sebokeng voters demand better services amid sewage and dumping crisis

Sebokeng residents have expressed their frustration with the Emfuleni Local Municipality due to persistent sewage spillages, deteriorating roads, and illegal dumping. On election day, voters in wards 31, 37, and 38 demanded an end to the ongoing service delivery failures. Many residents, such as Johannes Komako and Simon Motsei, have been complaining about these issues for years without any significant improvements.

Ward 31 Councillor Sibongile Naapo acknowledged recent progress, including the repair of streetlights that had been out of operation for over 20 years. Despite the council's efforts, residents are still hoping for tangible changes in the condition of their streets and neighbourhoods.
