Residents in Mabija Street, New Brighton, have called on the police to do more regular patrols in their area as they feel they could be living in one of Nelson Mandela Bay’s new crime hotspot areas.
While they may be on opposite sides of the city, their problems are the same sewage spills onto the streets and into the homes of New Brighton and Gelvandale residents after the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality allegedly failed to act on calls to rectify the issue.
