Over the weekend, Sedibeng Ster spotted some of the community members dumping their rubbish in plastic bags at the main gate, despite the fact that the municipality workers were busy cleaning the entrance. When one of the community members (see photo) was asked why he was dumping rubbish at the municipality entrance, he said that since last year December the municipality hasn’t collected their rubbish.
“As the community in this erea we volunteered to help the municipality with the collection of the rubbish but we were ignored, that is why we will continue to dump here until this issue of service delivery is addressed. “Throughout the whole December holidays parks have also not been maintained,” said the resident, who introduced himself as Willie.
Every Monday morning ELM employees park their cars outside the premises because of the plastic bags of rubbish that block the entrance to the offices.
Meanwhile, Sedibeng Ster sent photos of the situation to the communication department of ELM for a response but no comment was available at the time of going to print.
