Numerous residents across Potchefstroom have reported ongoing sewage overflows in residential streets, yards, and public spaces. These reports span several suburbs and have prompted growing concern over the condition of the city's wastewater infrastructure. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations Sewage Spillages: Locations, Impact & Dangers Problem areas identified by community members include: • 167 & 169 Meadow Street (erupting manholes) • 205 Kock Street, Central • 35–37 Jan Smuts Avenue • 9 Hennie Bingle Drive, Van der Hoff Park • 64 Parys Avenue, Baillie Park (residents unable to use toilets) • Abraham Street, Promosa • 8 Ben Pienaar Street • 1 Drommedaris Street Residents state that in some cases, the problem has persisted for several months. In affected areas, they have experienced sewerage backups into bathrooms and stormwater mixing with wastewater during heavy rainfall. Some properties are reportedly flooded during rain due to blocked drainage or sewerage systems. Community Leaders and Councillors Respond Several ward councillors, including Johan Zaarbeek (Ward 4) and André Klopper (Ward 7), have publicly addressed the issue, stating that they have communicated with municipal departments regarding the recurring blockages and infrastructure strain. They reported that despite submitting photos and videos to relevant officials since January 2025, little progress has been observed in resolving the affected sites. Councillors have noted that increased urban development in the northern parts of Potchefstroom may be placing further strain on an already limited sewage treatment capacity. Rainwater inflow into the sewage system during storms has been highlighted as a contributing factor. Ward-based WhatsApp and Facebook groups have also been used by community members to share images, videos, and updates about sewage-related problems in their neighborhoods. Legal Correspondence Issued to the Municipality On 10 April 2025, attorney Andreas Peens issued a formal letter to the JB Marks Local Municipality and the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality, acting on behalf of a group of residents identified as the JB Marks Concerned Citizens (JBMCC). The letter outlines the following: • Concerns about continued sewage pollution in residential and ecologically sensitive areas • Allegations of constitutional violations regarding health and environmental rights • A demand for immediate cleanup and implementation of preventative measures • A request for the municipality to submit a record of actions taken to address and prevent sewage issues The letter also notes that failure to respond or act by 12:00 on Wednesday, 16 April 2025 may lead to a legal application compelling the municipality to fulfill its service delivery responsibilities. Read Full Pdf below: Environmental and Health Implications According to the legal correspondence and community reports, raw sewage has reportedly entered wetland zones and areas near the Mooi River, which lies close to the OPM Prozesky Bird Sanctuary. This raises concerns about possible environmental impact, although no official environmental assessment has been released to date. The letter further references the Botha pump station in Chris Hani Street, identified as one source where sewage has allegedly bypassed the normal reticulation system and entered natural areas. Next Steps and Community Action Residents involved in the initiative have been asked to submit timestamped images and videos to support the legal documentation. They are encouraged to continue reporting issues to their ward councillors and join organized local communication channels to remain informed about developments. In addition to the formal letter, a structured group effort—including possible collaboration with civil society organizations—aims to monitor municipal response and assess legal options going forward. Link to join: Potch Sewage Alert WhatsApp Group As of the current reporting date, the JB Marks Local Municipality has not issued a public response to the complaints or legal letter. Efforts by residents and community leaders are ongoing, and legal proceedings may follow if remediation efforts are not undertaken. The situation continues to develop, and further updates will follow as official responses or actions are received. #TheGoToGuy #potchefstroom #potchgazette #stroomstories #sewage #JBMarks
