Mogale City’s Department of Integrated Environmental Management (DIEM), led by MMC Xolile Mkruquli, unveiled a new waste management fleet to strengthen the city’s ability to tackle illegal dumping and improve service delivery across the city.
The fleet includes a water tanker, a grab truck, two tipper trucks, a front-end loader, and five tractors. Each vehicle will play a key role in improving waste collection and keeping communities clean.
The grab truck will help remove illegal dumping in hard-to-reach areas, while the front-end loader will speed up waste collection, especially in busy and high-volume areas. Tipper trucks will be used to transport large volumes of waste to landfill sites, while the water tanker will assist with dust control, helping to create cleaner and safer public spaces.
MMC for Public Works, Roads and Transport, John Koboekae, together with DIEM Executive Director, Madikana Thenga, also joined the unveiling. They cautioned that the fleet is strictly for service delivery purposes and warned against any misuse. All vehicles are fitted with tracking devices and will be closely monitored to ensure accountability.
