Marikana residents clean illegal dumping sites

Kwa-Thema – Residents of the Marikana informal settlement spent their 67 minutes for the Mandela Day campaign cleaning the dumping site in the area.
This was in a bid to fight the mushrooming of illegal dumping sites.
Concerned resident Mthumeleni Ndita explained that they saw it fit to honour the memory of the late former South African president Nelson Mandela by fighting illegal dumping.

Mthumeleni added that they are urging the metro to provide the area with wheelie bins and refuse bags.
