Briers on the Manganese Ore

By

For the past 40 years, Briers has owned a Private Residence in 401 Cape Marina, Summerstrand, Port Elizabeth.

Briers estimates the additional monthly maintenance and cleaning costs on this asset, as the result of the manganese ore, to be in the region of R1000 per month.

The cost of accelerated wear and tear over the life of Briers’s asset is estimated to be: R380 000.

Briers has this to say about the Manganese Ore pollution from the Port of Port Elizabeth; “damage to external facade of the building, damage to furniture, curtains, electronic equipment, flooring and and bedding inside the home due to the fine black manganese particles entering whenever a door or window is opened. We also suffer from health issues that are Lung related!”
