The municipality owes Eskom and Rand Water R3.2bn and R1.3bn, respectively. This led to two of the municipality s biggest accounts being attached after a court order was granted and the municipality was unable to pay companies for services rendered.
The township has struggled to maintain its sewerage water system for years now.
When Sowetan visited these areas motorists were forced to drive on the sides of roads, fearing their cars could get damaged. In Sharpeville, many roads were not even tarred, making driving in the township a nightmare for taxi drivers.
