DURBAN - UNCOLLECTED rubbish is piling up on the streets of uMlazi because a business forum demanding work from the eThekwini Municipality has stopped refuse collection by threatening municipal employees, forcing the council to pull its workers out of the area.
The municipality said it has not been able to collect rubbish in the township for the past 14 days after an unidentified business forum threatened its staff. The city has struggled to consistently collect refuse in the cityâs largest township as the service is interrupted every few months.

The establishment of a new construction sector umbrella body, the Construction Alliance South Africa (Casa), has been labelled an âact of opportunism and tenderpreneurshipâ.
Casa, an umbrella body of 29 South African construction sector associations, was officially launched last week.
The National African Federation for the Building Industry (Nafbi) and Black Business Federation (BBF) have added their voices to criticism by the SA Forum of Civil Engineering Contractors (Safcec) about Casaâs establishment.
