Since then the municipality has given the family more time to remove the waste that was piled inside the property.
Municipal Manager Mr Mkhize said that the Building Control and Community Services Department was in the process of handling the matter.
“After issuing a 24-hour notice, a visit to the site was made last week. The owner indicated that he was in the process of removing all waste. To follow due process, we have given the owner until July 13 to remove all the waste inside the property.”
Mr Mkhize emphasises that if this process does not occur, the municipality will remove the waste as originally intended. “Be assured that we will follow the process to finality,” added Mr Mkhize.
