As we head onto combrades marathon 2026

09/06/2026

It’s been a busy week responding to multiple fat spills on our roads.

With the Comrades Marathon just around the corner, we urge all restaurants and food establishments along the route to ensure their fat traps are regularly inspected and properly maintained. Preventative maintenance can go a long way in keeping our roads safe for runners, motorists, and the community.

Let’s work together to ensure a safe and successful Comrades Marathon weekend.

Happily we have had no problems in Hillcrest for two weeks! Except for a smallanyana problem where sand from a car wash blocked a drain. They cleared it within an hour of Hlengiwe reporting the problem

The graph shows a summary of the sanitation incidents we have had this year, from Jan to 23 April 2026.
The red dotted line shows blocked and surcharging manholes. The blue line shows sewer ingress into stormwater systems which flow into the headwaters of the Molweni River in Springside nature Reserve. The orange shaded bar graph super-imposes the length of time incidents have taken to repair. You can see that often the issues clump together: Mid-February and Mid-April were bad patches. While this is still too many incidents on average - 21 in 4 months - it is better than where we were in the early years of the MtM. In the same period in 2024, we had 51 incidents. In 2025, we had 27.
