Poor waste management in
Khaylitsha has led to a serious rodent problem.
The City of Cape Town is now
rethinking its strategy, which has relied on rat poison traps.
This summer the City’s Health
Directorate will transition to a live catch approach.
The new rodent control program
will cost over R700, 000.
Councillor Siyabulela Mamkeli
said, “Khayelitsha is very densely populated and unfortunately education around effective
waste management is still a challenge as there continues to be an abundant of
food waste that rats can feed on.”
