‘‘ The sinkhole in Clifton Avenue, Centurion is a major concern for residents, with ward councillor Clive Napier
saying it has resulted in the depreciation of property values and dislocation of traffic in the area.

.ULVWLDQ0HLMHU

Some Centurion residents have been caught


in the grip of sinkholes. Across the city,
sinkholes have formed, each taking years to
repair. One of the largest, and of the most
concern to residents is the one in Clifton
Avenue, Lyttelton Manor.
This sinkhole has been a major concern
to residents of Clifton Avenue since March
2014 when a water pipe burst on four dif-
ferent occasions, leading to the formation of
the sinkhole.
“Sinkholes are occurring far too fre-
quently in Centurion and particularly in
Ward 57. The occurrence of sinkholes leads
to the depreciation of property value and dis-
location of traffic. It also causes insecurity
among residents who never know whether
they could be the next to be affected,” said
DA ward councillor Clive Napier.
Napier said residents in Clifton Avenue
had tried to sell their houses, but were un-
able to do so. “Nobody wants to buy a house
right next to a sinkhole. You never know if
the house will be the next to collapse.”
One of the major concerns was the ageing
water infrastructure. Leaking water pipes
and meters were considered the main causes
for the formation of sinkholes.
Dr Matthys Dippenaar, geologist at the
University of Pretoria, said, “Any concen-
trated inflow of water can cause a sinkhole.”
Napier said: “Just down the road from Councillor Clive Napier next to the large sinkhole.
