A MAJOR clean-up campaign in New Brighton’s Sheya Kulati Drive and surrounding industrial area has birthed a promising future for the area, recently misused by residents and businesses to dump waste illegally.
New plans for a more vibrant future, short to long term, were recently announced by various stakeholders who took part in day three of the five-day clean-up campaign in the area, led by Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor, Eugene Johnson, and public health MMC, Thsonono Buyeye.
The first plan in terms of a partnership in the NMBM between major businesses, government entities, non-profit organisations, the Mandela Bay Development Agency and residents, was a pledge of their support to fight the crisis of illegal dumping that can be seen across the city.
The partners include Continental, Isuzu SA, Ford, recycling company, Waste Trade, Timber Solutions, NGOs, the Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEDEAT) and the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE).
