Millions pumped into The Oaks project By Thandy Ndlovu DEPUTY Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, Rejoice Mabudafhasi, handed over the R11.4 million to Mopani District Municipality, as part of Mandela Month celebrations in The Oaks under Maruleng Municipality. The Department of Environmental Affairs through its Environmental Protection and Infrastructure Programme (EPIP) funded the implementation of Mopani Waste Recycling and Buy Back Centre Project in Mopani District M u n i c i p a l i t y. The department is using labour intensive methods as per the requirements of Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). "The objective of waste recycling is to save resources as well as to reduce the environmental impact of waste by reducing the amount of waste disposed at landfills. To meet these objectives, waste separation at source should be pursued as the quality of recyclable materials is higher when separated at source," said Mabudafhasi. She said In addition recycling has the potential for job creation and is a viable alternative to informal salvaging at landfills, which is undesirable due to problems of health and safety associated with salvaging. Mabudafhasi also encouraged the community of The Oaks to recycling their scraps during but warn them not to commit crime. "Recycle everything that you are not using like old machines and cars but please don't steal cars and recycle them," said Mabudafhasi. The project is focused on establishment of waste recycling and buy-back facilities in Maruleng, Greater Giyani and Greater Letaba Local Municipalities respectively. Each facility comprise of the waste sorting area, administration block, boundary fence, main entrance gate, guard house, access road, parking and paving, signs, bulk infrastructure, ramp for loading and off-loading. To this effect, the project has employed 96 local people. They also employ 58 women and 56 young people. Deepening the Mandela Month activities the Deputy Minister visited Maatla Primary School where she led a team of government officials and community members in executing the following activities, planting trees (water berry trees), painting of classrooms, rehabilitating of a bore hole and connecting a water tank. Addressing the people at Maatla Primary School Mabudafhasi urged them to make a difference in other people's lives and encouraged everyone to make every day a Mandela Day. Community members who attended the event were also encouraged to get educated as skilled people are needed for bricklaying, plumbing and other engineering fields. BASKETS and vases made out of bobbin's, how interesting! HOW creative! Animals as well as other creative stuff made out of recycled materials.
