The municipal workers responded to a complaint from Dennesig residents about a blockage of one of the sewerlines.<\/p>\n
After opening up one of the manholes, the workers sighted the decomposed carcass of a puppy along with what appeared to be more carcasses.
\nThey suspected that the puppies were either thrown down a drain, or flushed down a toilet by one of the residents.<\/p>\n
The municipality was astonished with their findings, saying that drains are more commonly blocked by the flushing of clothes, rubbish or sanitary products.
\nMs Prudence Magutle from STLM, said in a statement that the blocking of drains is everybody’s concern.<\/p>\n
Residents need to take responsibility for flushing obstructive articles down the sewerlines, which result in the spending of tax money to unclogg drains.<\/p>\n
The municipality has also made an appeal to the public, to help identify the perpertrator who disposed of the puppies down the drain.<\/p>\n
