According to the information received from Transnet
The matter is being handled by the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality as it is their sewer pump that has failed. TNPA is the affected party in this case. It is recommended that the question be referred to the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) as they are the responsible ministry in this instance.
