Rundu Dumping Sites

I WISH to express my concern about the dumpsite at Kasote village in Rundu, Kavango Region.

The Rundu Town Council has located a place at Kasote where they used to dump refuse. The place is very dirty and unhygienic.My concern is for the health of the people who are living at Kasote, Satotwa, Ngwangwa, Siyandeya and Kayira-yira villages.As we know that there is poverty in the country, and people use to go to that area to search for food which has expired and is unfit for human consumption but people are forced to go there for survival.We have even lost some people because of the expired foods and drinks and we don’t want this to continue.I’m requesting the Rundu Town Councillors to look at this issue to locate the dumpsite far from people because it’s very dangerous.Martha Matjayi, RunduThe place is very dirty and unhygienic.My concern is for the health of the people who are living at Kasote, Satotwa, Ngwangwa, Siyandeya and Kayira-yira villages.As we know that there is poverty in the country, and people use to go to that area to search for food which has expired and is unfit for human consumption but people are forced to go there for survival.We have even lost some people because of the expired foods and drinks and we don’t want this to continue.I’m requesting the Rundu Town Councillors to look at this issue to locate the dumpsite far from people because it’s very dangerous.Martha Matjayi, Rundu
