Illegal dumping in Cape Town is causing major problems for the city’s annual Winter Preparation Programme. This initiative aims to address flood risk management and ensure that the city is clean and safe during the winter season. However, illegal dumping continues to undermine these efforts, making it difficult for the Road Infrastructure Management (RIM) Department teams to carry out essential cleanup operations in areas such as Newlands, Imizamo Yethu, and Masiphumelele.
