PICS: Minister helps clean up Mamelodi for WorldEnvironmentDay
Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy, and Gauteng's Economic Development, Agriculture and Environment MEC Dr. Kgosientso Ramokgopa leading a community cleanup campaign in Mamelodi, east of Pretoria, marking World Environment Day.
“We are looking at how we can mitigate the fact that for some people, they are not yet receiving weekly garbage collection which leads to this problem of illegal dumping.” “We only have 66 percent of communities that are receiving weekly waste disposal, 80 percent of communities do have access to waste disposal but it may not be weekly. I think one thing we have to look at is the supplier side of waste disposal. We got to look at citizen behaviour modification. The Good Green Deeds Campaign has a primary emphasis on the issue of citizen behaviour. One of the things I want to see more of is consciousness about environmental issues in our schools.
