Gauteng’s top police brass are leading an operation near the Goudkoppies landfill site where bodies have been piling up, with nine murders in the past two weeks.
Johannesburg’s member of the mayoral committee for environment infrastructure service, Michael Sun and council speaker Vasco Da Gama led their own site visit to the notorious landfill adjacent to the Golden Highway in the south of Johannesburg on Wednesday. Sun, echoing several residents, told thethat the area was known to be full of guns and illegal goods and said he hoped that police would seize them.
Sun described the ongoing activities around the landfill as a “warzone”, but said it was unclear whether police were investigating links between the two incidents. During Wednesday’s public site visit, the South African Municipal Workers Union called for the closure of the landfill until it was compliant. Eldorado Park residents, who said they lived closer to the landfill than permitted in the city’s bylaws, want the more than 20-year-old site to be permanently closed and rehabilitated.
In a Facebook post, Sun said officials were threatened from entering the informal settlement because its “Basotho occupants are armed with AK47s”. According to Sun, about 50% of the site is already under rehabilitation, but he conceded that urgent measures were needed to address the effects on nearby residents. He said a 500m buffer zone was required between landfill sites and residential properties and the city was considering solutions such as spraying to deal with the smell, as well as addressing the waste water and debris blowing into surrounding areas.
