WE ARE SICK

BUSISIWE MAHLANGU

We are all sick

#HEALTH

As we are the community of Emalahleni we suffer from air pollution. It is a problem to us that the government must do something to clear this out.

During the extraction of coal dust from the mines blasting that is mixed with chemicals goes straight to the community members thus causing sickness.

Everyone whether you are young or old are most effected. The sad part when you go to the Doctor they told us to relocate its really sad to tell an unemployed person to relocate even the Young one because in some cases no one is working where can they find the money to relocate.

My son now is affected his eyes are itching every day when you look inside the eyes you see black dust and that dust make sores inside the eyes

Even at school he is unable to wright properly and in the board it’s difficult to see words. I went to consult different doctors they told me the same thing Relocate. I think these Doctors they make agreement with the mines because it’s one thing every day.

Government must take care of the affected people because this people can’t go anywhere and can’t get even job because sickness is all over the body (surrounded by sickness). Government must provide with better treatment.
