Health Hazard Ignited! Illegal Dumpsite Fires Poison Air Across Kya Sands - Have Your Say!
For years, residents of Kya Sands, Fourways, Bloubosrand, Chartwell AH, Farmall AH, and surrounding areas have been forced to breathe toxic smoke from the illegal burning of waste — including tyres, plastics, e-waste, chemicals, and even medical waste. These fires release poisonous fumes, causing asthma, respiratory illness, cancer, and other serious health conditions.
Despite repeated complaints and community-led efforts, the crisis continues to grow. DearSA is calling on all residents to take part in a live data census to support urgent legal action and hold authorities accountable. Together, we can demand answers from the municipality and push for immediate, lasting solutions to end this toxic pollution.
Closes: 12 / 12 / 2025
