DURBAN - UNCOLLECTED rubbish is piling up on the streets of uMlazi because a business forum demanding work from the eThekwini Municipality has stopped refuse collection by threatening municipal employees, forcing the council to pull its workers out of the area.
The municipality said it has not been able to collect rubbish in the township for the past 14 days after an unidentified business forum threatened its staff. The city has struggled to consistently collect refuse in the cityâs largest township as the service is interrupted every few months.
