Ngemuva kokubona izithombe zabantu bendawo bebhukuda ngezimpahla zabo zokubhukuda bezungeze imigodi egcwele amanzi e-Evaton West, uNgqongqoshe weZokuthutha koMphakathi, Imigwaqo kanye neZingqalasizinda e-Gauteng akakwazanga ukulinda olunye usuku ngaphambi kokubavakashela.
Ngesikhathi ebona amabhishi okubhukuda esikhashana, uJacob Mamabolo uvumile ukuthi imigodi mikhulu kodwa wathi umnyango wakhe ubungazi lutho ngayo kuze kube uthola ucingo oluvela ku-Scrolla.Africa ngoMsombuluko.
UNgqongqoshe uthe uhulumeni wasekhaya uzokubeka eqhulwini ukuyilungisa.
Uthe kuzoba nethimba lochwepheshe kanye nabasebenzi bezokwakha abazotshalwa kule ndawo ngoLwesithathu ukuyohlola isimo ngaphambi kokunquma usuku abazoqala ngalo ukuyilungisa.
Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwemine abahlali base-Evaton West e-Mkhelele extension 11 esigcemeni sama-26 e-Vaal bethi imigodi yendawo ibilokhu ikhula, ibabanzi futhi ijula minyaka yonke.
Umhlali uZanele Zikalala uthe ubonile ukuthi imigodi iba yinkinga kakhulu njengoba ebejwayele ukuwela kuyo ngenkathi esahlala kuleli kasi.
“Kuyamangaza ukuthi uhulumeni uzwa izikhalo zethu kuphela uma lolu daba lusemaphephandabeni,” esho.
“Sekuyiminyaka eminingi sicela usizo, kodwa akukapheli ngisho usuku ngemuva kokuthi izindaba zethu zokulethwa kwezidingo zigqanyiswe ngabezindaba, njengoba wonke umuntu kuhulumeni usefuna ukuzosiza”.
UMamabolo uthe imigodi ese-Evaton ihehe imiphakathi ngoba izithombe zabantu abayisebenzisa njengebhishi zisabalale yonke indawo.
Amalungu omphakathi kule ndawo athwetshulwe ezipholisa komunye umgodi onamanzi anodaka.
Abanye bebegqoke izingubo zabo zokubhukuda, ngenkathi abanye becwilise izinyawo zabo emanzini ngenkathi beziphumulele ezihlalweni futhi bephuza iziphuzo kuma-cooler box.
Imigodi ibonakala ijule kakhulu kangangokuba amanzi amboze imizimba yezingane neyabantu abadala ababhukuda kuyo.
