Sarah-Bell from Primrose writes:<\/p>\n

I live in Primrose, not far from the informal settlement in Main Reef Road.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

My fellow Primrose residents and I are growing increasingly concerned about the black smoke billowing from the informal settlement on the Primrose Gold Mine property, and near the mine dumps.<\/p>\n

This smoke has been getting progressively worse.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It is obvious that tyres and cable are being burnt for the metal.<\/p>\n

This is occurring every day and the law enforcers are not enforcing the law.<\/p>\n

The air pollution is a health risk, at times it fills the air like a thick fog.<\/p>\n

Can the authorities not see it?<\/p>\n

Ekurhuleni must deliver on their promise of a healthy environment, which includes clean air.<\/p>\n

We take pride in keeping our area clean and maintained.<\/p>\n

I plead with the metro, enforce the law to keep our air clean.<\/p>\n
