Ward 92 councillor Charmaine Ngoepe says JRA promised to attend to the illegallly dumped building rubble and sand by the end of the week.
After spotting building rubble and sand along Dale Road in Midrand on July 5, the paper contacted Ward 92 councillor Charmaine Ngoepe on July 8 to ask if she had seen the rubble and when will it be removed.

“I have seen the rubble and I’m aware of it,” said Ngoepe. “I have called JRA and they are promising to remove it by end of this week [week ending July 11]. We have not experienced something like this in my ward, and we need to put a stop to it before it grows out of control.”
She urged all residents to refrain from dumbing their building rubble on the road reserves as that poses high risk to the motorists and cyclers. “I will also call the Johannesburg Metro Police Department to ask for more by-laws enforcement, so that we can put an end to this before it gets out of hand.”
Ngoepe urged people to use the correct Pikitup landfill disposal sites in Kyalami.
