Many animals lose their lives on the metro\u2019s busy roads each week.<\/p>\n

Many of these incidents happen so fast that motorists are unable to avoid the collision.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Whose responsibility is it to remove the bodies of the animals killed in these incidents?<\/p>\n

This was the question posed to the Germiston City News by a concerned Wadeville resident.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The GCN approached the metro to get clarity on the situation.<\/p>\n

Lebogang Ramashala, a senior media officer at the metro\u2019s department of communication and brand management, said: \u201cIt is the responsibility of the Ekurhuleni Waste Management Services Department to make sure that the animals\u2019 bodies are collected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community can contact either Francis Mphafane or Mduduzi Nhlabathi, on 011 999-1267\/8015, to report these types of incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n
