A public meeting on the effects of air pollution on the residents of Khayelitsha will be taking place at the Community Hall in Site B on Saturday May 10.
Due to the high levels of pollution in Khayelitsha, City of Cape Town spokesperson, Bethwell Mbete says that they want to create awareness of the pollution that is occurring in the area.
“The community residents will be given the results of the survey that we have done as well as a workshop,” says Mbete.
According to the survey the high levels of pollution originate mostly from wood and tyre burnings.
“We have to include the community and inform them so that they can come up with means and ways as to how to reduce the pollution, “ says Mbete.
