LADYBRAND - Residents in the small town, Ladybrand known for its rock art and fossils this afternoon took to the streets demanding that the Mantsopa Municipality address the ongoing sewage problem.

The town is plagued by filth, foul odors, and constant sewage leaks.

A concerned resident Charles Ramaleka stated that the sewage now flows to the Manyatseng Daycare Centre, posing a safety hazard to both learners and staff. 

“This dire situation in Ladybrand has persisted for over ten years, and our municipality seems indifferent to our plight,” Ramaleka explained.

He also mentioned that a budget had been allocated for the repairs and maintenance of the sewage system, yet no action has been taken to date.

This is a developing story.
