Gqeberha Is Losing the War On Dumping GroundUp_News: SouthAfrica
Spokesperson Mamela Ndamase told GroundUp there are 1,973 illegal dumpsites in the municipality according to the latest audit. The municipality clears on average 125 sites a month. But with no budget for security to guard the cleared sites, rubbish is often dumped there again, and when municipal rubbish trucks break down, residents say they have no option but to dump their rubbish.
"People who are dumping outside the school don't stay here. They come at night and we hear the sound of their wheelie bins. They are afraid of polluting their areas. The municipality should fence off the area," said Mpompi.
