Help 2 siblings struggling with drug abuse change their lives
After years of struggling with drug abuse, Mpumelelo Miya (28) and Skhumbuzo Miya (24) from Kwa-Guqa Extensions plead for help to reshape their lives. The two siblings said it all started when their mother passed on, and they had to fend for themselves as they had no one to turn to. While Skhumbuzo started by merely selling the drugs and later on had a try, with Mpumelelo it was a different case. 'I was heavily pregnant in 2019 when I first tried drugs. All I wanted to do was drown my sorrows as we were left all by ourselves,' she said. The brother and sister are currently pleading for all the assistance they can get to go to rehab and return to fetch their long buried dreams. All Voices Matter founder, Abongile Mcoki, and Thando Masango, anti-drug activists from Kakarambha Foundation, who were the ones to identify the duo, invite the community of eMalahleni to join them on Saturday 09:00 for a voluntary cleaning campaign to improve the environment they currently live in. For more information on how to donate or assist, you can contact Abongile at 067 735 2191, or Thando at 078 411 1756. Read the full story in next week's edition of WITBANK NEWS.

Illegal dumping in Chartwell sparks resident outcry
Chartwell resident Rosalee Nel has voiced frustration over ongoing illegal dumping in the area, saying it is spoiling the environment and making it unpleasant for residents to enjoy simple outdoor activities. 'We can't even take runs to enjoy the area because of the dirty filth lining the roads. Dumping here is an everyday occurrence. It's not just unsightly; it's unhygienic.' Read more: Residents demand more action from MMC, JMPD, and CoJ on Kya Sands illegal dumping Nel said she has repeatedly reported the problem to ward councillor Rufas Maswazi and the city, but has not received any communication in response. Nel said a new dumping site is developing by Watercombe Road. 'A lot of it has to do with the composting place, which might be closed when people want to offload. So, instead, they dump rubble and trash along the route. This has been going on for far too long.' The resident is calling for, at least, a clear: 'No Dumping' sign in the area, to deter offenders, and for more active enforcement to hold illegal dumpers accountable. Fourways Review reached out to Maswazi. He commented on the issue, saying: 'I have escalated this matter to the service delivery group. The response from Pikitup is still not forthcoming.' He also encouraged residents to report illegal dumping to Pikitup at 011 688 1500 or email: [email protected].
