'We want to stay in a clean environment', say volunteering cleaners.
When someone dumped a dead body on an illegal dump in Delft, Cape Town, three months ago, Nomsobo Gabhayi and a group of other women decided to take action.
She said vegetable vendors and owners of barber and spaza shops discard rotten vegetables, hair and expired food on the dumps. “Some residents shout back at us and say we act as if we are City officials, but we stand our ground.”The women burn the collected rubbish. “I go to another area, look for a half-full wheelie bin and put my rubbish in,” she said. Bobi said not all wheelie bins are emptied by the City of Cape Town.
