Stream polluted

 

#OURANIMALDIE

 

Lack of knowledge and ignorance is killing our livestock as they drink polluted water from the streams

 

The pollution is happening at Nkomazi Local Municipality under Mpumalanga Province in stream that connects to the Nkomazi River that supply water to the Nkomazi East communities.

 

Once the waste collecting truck does not come to collect the waste the community people’s dump the waste to the nearby stream not knowing that it is causing damage to livestock and

 

The Nkomazi East communities and the livestock are the most affected as the water in Nkomazi East needs to be boiled before using it and livestock die as some eat pampers that are being dumped in the stream.

 

The communities have to be responsible and stop creating illegal dumps especially in streams. They should go and talk to the municipality about the issue of the uncollected waste.

 

Any community member that will be found dumping to be jailed and be penalized sothat people’s can realised the importance of streams and life at large.
