Illegal dumping is a major problem in Snake-Park

Sphiwe Jokazi

Illegal dumping has become a major problem that is taking up space in our community of Snake Park. Day by day illegal dumping is becoming uncontrollable and seems like nothing can stop it because new spaces are being pilled up with rubbish on daily basis, while the old ones are still packed with rubbish that has not been removed for weeks.

Children play on these rubbish sites and animals like goats feed in the dumps on daily basis. It’s very sad to see animals feeding on rubbish and the farmers are not even monitoring their livestock. The government must intervene in this matter because of the health and safety of our environment. This is happening because the is no service delivery in our area.
