Cape Town - A Pelican Heights resident in Strandfontein has accused the City of passing the buck to a private construction company after his property suffered extensive damage during nearby construction work in 2019.
WBHO was appointed to install pipelines as part of the Aquifer Recharge Management project in Pelican Heights in 2019 when Yaggia Savahl’s property was damaged by diggings and vibrations from the construction due to the soil type, causing settlement and walls cracking. On one side of the house, the ceiling collapsed.
