Boseja residents demand relocation of stinking dam

The residents informed the MP that the smell from the dam is horrible and gets worse at night or when ducks go there to swim. The dam was built by Kgatleng District Council (KDC) years ago when Boseja North was still a masimo. The residents have asked KDC to reconsider relocating the dam. They told Mabiletsa that the smell poses a health hazard particularly to those staying near the dam.

The MP agreed and informed them that he will take their complaint to the relevant authorities. The residents appealed to government to build a primary school where the sewage dam is. They said the current one, Lady Mitchison, cannot cater for all children in the ward. They informed the MP that they have a problem with flooding roads and yards during heavy rains. Mabiletsa put the blame on the old Land Board, which he said was allocating plots in an old out-dated manner. "Therefore it is difficult to control this water flooding your yards," he said.
