Call for SMME to run Riverside buy-back centre
THE buy-back centre in Riverside, Umgeni Park is seeking a qualified small, medium or micro enterprise (SMME) to take over its operations, in a move aimed at formalising a long-troubled informal recycling site. USE-IT waste beneficiation, in partnership with the eThekwini Municipality's Economic Development Unit and the e-Waste Association of SA (eWASA), has called for proposals from experienced waste sector SMMEs to manage the Connaught Bridge Recycling Site. Also read: Book fair in uMhlanga to focus on planet, people, power The initiative forms part of a wider waste picker integration and recycling upliftment strategy, designed to promote job creation, environmental sustainability, and small business development. 'The successful SMME will be responsible for daily purchasing from waste pickers, sorting and storing recyclables, ensuring compliance with site rules, and submitting monthly operational reports,' said USE-IT managing director Belinda Putterill. Putterill said over R700 000 has been secured from eWASA to fund infrastructure development. 'Due to the close proximity of the area to the river, we've had to ask for permission to operate. Once that's been granted by the Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, it will be all systems go,' she said. She added that the project will be using USE-IT's unique interlocking Green Block (KEY Bricks) to build structures on the site so the site will be an entirely eco-friendly, green space. 'We are also calling on local businesses to invest their CSI funding into developing the site. Local security companies are also needed to collaborate and offer services. There is lots to be done and the only way to make this sustainable is if business comes on board too,' said Putterill. Speaking to Northglen News from the site in Riverside, reclaimers Emmanuel Shamase and Xolani Sukude said they were grateful to USE-IT and everyone involved in putting plans in place to formalise a buy-back centre. 'We are happy that we will have a formal centre to conduct business from soon. It's like a dream come true,' said Shamase. 'We appreciate all the support we have been getting from USE-IT, the community, the City, the ward councillor, and just basically everyone who is helping us,' said Sukude. Ward 36 councillor Heinz de Boer said the move marks a turning point for a location that has long been plagued by illegal dumping, sex work and squatting. 'Now that the fencing is up, and once the site is formalised we can control it. It will become a formalised business for the people who are already sorting through recyclables here. Voluntary clean-ups are already happening, which is a good step towards compliance,' he said. Proposals can be submitted via email to [email protected] or through Applications close on August 30.

National Dialogue: Concerns about financial transparency and hotel bookings for delegates
Several foundations say that the first national convention has been rushed. The Thabo Mbeki Foundation has raised renewed concerns about the funding model for the National Dialogue. This comes after the organising committee for the first convention taking place this week revealed that some delegates will be booked into five hotels in Pretoria. According to the organisers, provision has been made for 1 000 delegates. On Monday, 755 people had been invited from more than 30 sectors and over 200 organisations. Bongani Kupe, a special projects manager at the Thabo Mbeki Foundation, told The Citizen that one of the reasons the legacy foundations had pulled out is because there was no clarity on where delegates would be accommodated. ALSO READ: Ramaphosa-Mbeki feud reignites as foundations withdraw from National Dialogue 'This is why we said, can we postpone this so that we can put everything in context, so that we can lower the cost of this. 'Some of the sectors, I am sure they would have been able to say we will come, but we will foot our own bill. Those that would have said they cannot afford; we could have found reasonable accommodation for them. 'The intention is not to make this a commercial project, the intention should be a substantive project that will change the trajectory of South Africa,' he said. Lack of financial transparency Kupe said the issue of financial transparency is of importance if the dialogue is a citizen led process. 'Initially, we had said this would cost between R76 million and R700 million; there was no figure that had been finalised. We then said to the government, we need to discuss this. They never came back to us in time to say this is what we think we can contribute. They just took the project because they then said they have the resources, they can do this on their own,' he said. Kupe said the foundations did not want to risk their names in a venture that was veiled in secrecy or the lack of transparency. 'Our fear is that you, as reporters, will come to us and ask us how much this cost, and we will say we do not know. Then it will be clear that this is not citizen led,' he said. Kupe said the foundations had decided not to attend the first convention at the end of this week. 'We do not like the fact that the government has taken over instead of the process being citizen-led. We have been planning this thing for some time without the government. We do not want this to be an imbizo where people come together, complain, and then disperse. 'We want this to kick-start a process that is nation-building, that is why we wanted every sector to be engaged even before the first national convention,' he said.
