ILLEGAL DUMPING:

Metro takes firm stand NCEBA DLADLA

ELSON Mandela Bay Municipality will at the end of this month sit in a meeting to finalise a R15 million budget to address the problem of illegal dumping. This was revealed by Deputy Executive

Mayor Mongameli Bobani who is also a Member of Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Public Health. In the meantime, a no-nonsense approach will be taken against those who make themselves guilty of dumping illegally. The services of the metro police has been called upon and they have been instructed to fine perpe-

While they were doing everything in their power to ensure that the environment was kept clean, residents in local communities continued to dump illegally.

“In Nelson Mandela Bay we have three transfer stations. One in Algoa Park, one in Motherwell and the last one in Kragga Kamma. We were forced to close the one in Algoa Park because of compliance issues. It didn’t meet the standards,” Bobani said. Continued on page 2
