WELTEVREDEN LANDFILL SITE TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO A SHOOTING INCIDENT

The City of Ekurhuleni condemns the criminal activities which have constantly disrupted operations at the Weltevreden Landfill Site in Brakpan.

The waste disposal facility is temporarily closed following a shooting incident at the weekend which has led to deaths of two people who are not employees of the city.

Law enforcement agencies are monitoring the situation to secure the facility before it is reopened.

Customers who use the Weltevreden landfill site are urged to use nearby landfill sites in the meantime. The alternative landfill sites include Rietfontein in KwaThema, Rooikraal in Dawn Park and Platkop near Katlehong.

The Weltevreden landfill site will be opened once the situation returns to normal, and it will be communicated on the city’s communication platforms.
