Hope and Hardship on the Slopes: Imizamo Yethu’s Battle with Broken Infrastructure

by Hannah Kriel
July 18, 2025

Imizamo Yethu is a vibrant community struggling with broken sewage pipes and overflowing waste that turn streets and even the beloved basketball court into unsafe places. Despite the stench and health risks, children sneak back onto the damaged court, showing their strong hope and love for play. The old sewer system can’t keep up with the growing population, making life messy and dangerous. While the city plans upgrades years from now, residents build makeshift bridges over sewage and keep pushing for clean water, safe homes, and respect. Their fight is one of courage and determination amid hardship.
