Municipal Manager, Madoda Khathide has briefed the KZN Legislature about Msunduzi's plans, saying a new site has been identified by the district.


"We tried our level best and we are aware of the fact that we had fires over the last two years and there are accusations that the landfill site has reached its life span." 


"So we had to de-establish it and start identifying another new landfill site. I would like to indicate that process has never been undertaken over the last 15 years so we have to start the ball from the scratch," he says.
