Sewer defects hamper Hwange housing project

DEFECTS on the sewer system have hampered the servicing of over 2 000 residential stands in Empumalanga West in Hwange with the local authority, urging the government to tighten its screws on monitoring of such projects to avoid poor workmanship.

“Residents have started complaining about defects in sewer lines. We are, therefore, urging the ministry (National Housing and Social Amenities) to enhance its monitoring and supervision of the project so that contractors don’t cut corners,” town secretary Ndumiso Mdlalose said.
