Earlier this month, the DA in Ward 31, the South African National Civic Organisation and members of the community organised a community clean-up to raise awareness of the health hazard that illegal dumping has caused.
The clean-up took place in Leachville and along New Kleinfontein Road, where over 100 refuse bags were used.
“The DA in Ward 31 is pleased to see that the community of Leachville is heeding the city’s call to join the fight to keep Ekurhuleni clean and in doing so creating a healthy pleasing environment,” said Ward 31 Clr Simangele Sabe.
“I welcome the progress by the multi-party coalition government in restoring waste removal services in various areas that were affected in the past couple of weeks.
“The city remains committed to its mandate of providing quality waste management services to all residents to ensure that the objective of a cleaner and healthier Ekurhuleni is realised.”
