Description
“Something is Rotten in Durban,” examines the pervasive issue of illegal waste dumping in South Africa, highlighting its drivers, consequences, and the challenges in enforcement.
It uses tragic case studies, like the death of three-year-old Jordan Lewis, to underscore the human cost and the systemic failures in environmental legislation and waste management.
The book also details various types of waste, their environmental and socio-economic impacts, and the roles of different governmental bodies, legal frameworks, and civil society in addressing this complex problem.
Ultimately, it proposes solutions across law enforcement, physical environment maintenance, education, and partnerships to combat illegal dumping and promote environmental justice.
This is the Paperback edition.
