EnviroServ’s chief executive officer, Dean Thompson, and several other top managers from the waste management giant appeared in the Durban regional court briefly this week on charges of violating environmental and air quality regulations at its Shongweni landfill in west Durban.

They are also charged with violating the same legislation by failing to manage waste on their premises in line with regulations and for violating the Criminal Procedures Act by failing to obey compliance orders from environmental inspectors. On Tuesday, the case was adjourned until December 14 for trial and to allow lawyers for the managers to bring an application to have some of the charges set aside on the grounds that the charge sheet does not outline the nature of the alleged offences., a community organisation, appealed against the granting of a reviewed waste management license for the site to EnviroServ during March, claiming that the license had been irregularly issued by the department of environmental affairs.
