Samantha Kuppan's yard is overflowing with sewerage

A CHATSWORTH resident shared her experience with the eThekwini Municipality after sewage repairs allegedly left her home damaged and her family living in hazardous conditions.

She claimed municipal workers destroyed parts of her property during a sewage repair operation and later denied responsibility.

Samantha Kuppan, 46, of Croftdene, said her ordeal began in May 2025 when she attempted to assist elderly neighbours whose property was affected by an overflowing sewage manhole.

“The manhole was overflowing with sewage into their the yard. Since they were elderly people, I decided to help them and reported the issue to the municipality. When the municipality came through, they said the issue was in my yard,” claimed Kuppan.
