The Philippi Horticultural Area and surrounds are under threat.
A local councillor says the area is devastated due to a dire lack of funding.
Elton Jansen, Councillor of Ward 43, has raised the alarm about the catastrophic flooding caused by recent bad weather.
Farms and farmworker housing have been submerged, due to the apparent lack of a proper storm water drainage system.
Jansen says he’s approached local and provincial authorities for urgent assistance.
