Marlboro Gardens residents frustrated over poor service delivery.
Marlboro Gardens residents have raised concerns over infrastructural dilapidation along Zinnia Drive that’s negatively impacting their quality of living as a community.
Resident Farouk Mohamed complained about the challenges encountered when trying to get the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) and Johannesburg Water (JW) more active in servicing their community.
“JRA has passed this on to JW,” he claimed. “If both are not willing to do their job, then inform me to not waste another’s time. This water is unhygienic and stinks and probably has sewage in it. We breathe this daily and people and cars walk and drive over this.
“Our community is going through a difficult time at the moment with regards to service delivery, and the infrastructure is coming down around us. The situation seems hopeless.”
JRA and JW were contacted for comment on September 5, and Ward 109 councillor Lori Coogan on September 6.
No comments were forthcoming at the time of going to print.
