SHOOT: I think it must also be to blame for my ingrown toenail.
Wireless broadband operator iBurst and a community in Fourways, north of Johannesburg, are at loggerheads over the construction of a base station that some residents of the neighbourhood claim is resulting in serious health problems.
The tower, at Fourways Memorial in the small suburb of Craigavon, was switched on on 12 August 2009. Since then, residents who live close to the iBurst facility have reported skin rashes, headaches, vomiting, sleep disorders, fatigue, upset stomachs, tinnitus and other health conditions.
A residents’ group has claimed that the problems are directly related to electromagnetic radiation.
Now the residents have hired a team of lawyers and are headed to court in an attempt to have the tower removed.
Carte Blanche, a popular weekend television magazine programme, is also expected to highlight the situation on its show, probably this Sunday.
