Cape Town’s municipal authorities have introduced a groundbreaking pilot project to combat the issue of waste management in community residential units (CRUs). The initiative aims to tackle the problem of overflowing bins and illegal dumping that often plague areas inhabited by backyard tenants. The ultimate goal of the project is to improve community health and cleanliness.
The high demand for housing in Soweto has resulted in a backlog in title deeds and home allocations, forcing many people to live in informal settlements. As the area experiences an influx of people looking for work and housing, Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi is calling for collaboration between the government and Soweto residents to address the challenges in the human settlements sector.
