Residents of Buffelsdale in Tongaat are fed up with the poor maintenance of the grounds between Silverdale Primary School and Peony Place. The grass and trees have overgrown, causing blocked stormwater drains and resulting in sewage seeping to the surface. Resident, Anesh Hajari, told the Weekly that he has been making continuous efforts to contact
various role players and departments with no success. “Despite numerous calls made to the eThekwini Municipality and the local councillor regarding maintenance of the grounds, the issue has fallen on deaf ears. The situation is not looking good. The stench is unbearable, rats, snakes and mosquitoes are proving to be a health hazard, and no one is prepared to assist us,” said Hajari.

It has been established that the grass was last cut in October 2021 in the area and residents have been trying to get assistance since December 2021 to deal with the issue with no success. “The grounds have become inaccessible due to the overgrowth and in some areas, soggy like a swamp because of the seeping sewage. We have been neglected by the local municipality. The local driving school cannot even access the grounds because of fear of their cars
getting stuck in the sewage patches,” said another resident who did not want to be named. With it becoming darker earlier and winter approaching, residents are also concerned about their safety. “The grass is growing into bushes now. Criminals will take advantage of the bush and long grass by using them to hide and watch before breaking into our homes and cars. We don’t sleep at night as we have to keep guard,” added Hajari. Residents have asked to use this platform to get answers. “We need action to be taken now. Leaving the ground unattended will turn the place into swamp which will be hazardous for our health and properties,” said the resident.
