That garbage pile in South Ruimveldt

Sep 19, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write this letter with nothing more than love in my heart for my country. Each morning I have to take my two year old son to my aunt, who lives at Macaw Lane South Ruimveldt to spend the day, then I uplift him in the evening for which I am extremely grateful. So each day I pass through the exit then turn the first corner left into Macaw Lane.
Before I arrive at my destination, there is a enormous pile of which looks like dirt in front of an empty lot. One would have thought it was place there for land filling. However, upon inquiry I was told it’s a dumping site for persons in the neighborhood, which has grown so enormous that it is taller than the average person and it is encroaching on the road that vehicles have to drive around. Has anyone considered that this can cause vehicular accidents, and more seriously, loss of life?
Aren’t we so unconcerned about our environment that in this modern day and age we continue with such uncivilized practice? I hope this letter brings awareness to the authority involved in clean up my country and it is removed because this can very well be one of the contributing factors to the flooding in that area.
