Andrew on the Manganese Ore

14 August 2018 By Alan Straton

For the past 5 years, Andrew has owned a Private Residence in Richmond hill.

Andrew estimates the additional monthly maintenance and cleaning costs on this asset, as the result of the manganese ore, to be in the region of R1500 per month.

The cost of accelerated wear and tear over the life of Andrew’s asset is estimated to be: R300.

Andrew has this to say about the Manganese Ore pollution from the Port of Port Elizabeth; “Because its affecting my health and my house needs to be painted every 2 years”

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
