SAHRC subpoenas Emfuleni Municipality over ongoing sewage crisis.
The Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM) continues to fail to respond to an ongoing sewage crisis, the cause of health hazards to many residents in the area.
This was revealed by the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), which recently subpoenaed ELM to provide testimony regarding human rights investigations against the municipality.
This stemmed from numerous investigations against the municipality concerning water and sanitation, human settlements and pollution.
