Bryanfern residents demand action as sewage leaks devastate Klein Jukskei River, risking health and wildlife.Sewage flowing unabated for past 2 years
It is a tributary of the Jukskei River, which feeds into vital water sources like Hartbeespoort Dam and Bronkhorstspruit Rivers that have been severely polluted. The residents’ association has expressed deep concern about the potential health hazards posed by the sewage leaks, citing the recent cholera outbreak in Hammanskraal as a stark reminder of the risks associated with contaminated water.“We have a thread of e-mails communicating with the city and Joburg Water and it’s scary. We’ve seen what has happened in Pretoria. They need to test the water and do some investigations regarding the water quality,” Craig said.
