With exams looming, Elvis Mxeke of Asla Park shared his dismay at the conditions he is living in. Sewage is flowing into his makeshift dwelling from a neighbour's property and the stench is so bad that it affects his ability to concentrate and to study. Like the community of Dube Street a short distance away, the community of Grootboom Street where Elvis lives also experiences the intermittent electricity outages. Residents complain that the failures are the result of informal dwellers, and not backyard dwellers illegally tapping into the electricity network. This results in electricity cuts as soon as darkness sets in.
