'Our homes smell like sewage and rubbish': Makhanda community takes city to court

The provincial MECs for environmental affairs and co-operative affairs, the minister of environmental affairs are respondents alongside Makana municipality in the community’s high court application. The community and the school governing body are being represented by the LRC.

Maholo says that on windy days, the rubbish from the illegal dumpsites blows into homes and the surrounding schools. When it rains, the rubbish blocks the gutters, causing sewage build up. According to the community’s court papers, Makana's waste management system is in “disarray” and has led to the establishment of illegal dumpsites across the township.

Since 2019, there have been multiple disputes between municipal workers and the city regarding protective gear and salaries. These disputes brought all rubbish collection to a standstill for months.
