Spokesperson, Sipho Mkhize says they are overwhelmed by the high infection rate among workers - and have been left with no other choice.
"As a safety measure, we have decided to halt the waste management service in the northern part of KwaDukuza, formerly known as Stanger.
"We want to take the waste management team in that area to a testing facility. We do appeal for calm. The situation is beyond our control," says Mkhize.
