Gauteng SAHRC receives 1 500 complaints in past year
In the past year alone, 1 500 complaints have been received by the Gauteng Human Rights
Commission. The commission gave feedback on several high-profile cases that dominated the
public space in 2023. From the rampant cholera outbreak in Tshwane to the shocking sewage spill in Emfuleni that left communities wallowing in a swamp of dirty, untreated water, the Commission says it has seen a sharp increase in water shortages and sewage spills in the Emfuleni region in recent months. Gauteng SAHRC provincial manager Zamantungwa Mbeki says the problems are more prevalent in the townships and the municipality is very slow to respond
