Tuk-tuk vehicles donated to ferry waste
The donated equipment will only be used to ferry recyclables from various points of generation to the centre
The Gauteng MEC for Economic Development, Agriculture and Environment, Morakane Mosupyane, handed over three tuk-tuk vehicles to the South African Waste Business Forum (SAWBF) operating in Mohlakeng on Monday 2 November.
During the handover the MEC said SAWBF is a waste buy-back centre that was established through co-funding by the West Rand District Development Agency and the National Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries. The aim is to achieve a sustainable environment by minimising waste that would otherwise be destined for landfills, creating job opportunities, and developing and supporting local entrepreneurs in the waste-management sector.
MMC for Health and Social Services, Nozi Dlamini Mabena who was also at the handover said the donated equipment will only be used to ferry recyclables from various points of generation to the centre, and nowhere else.
