Bryan on the Manganese Ore

By

For the past 17 years, Bryan, from Perridgevale, Port Elizabeth has commented on the deleterious effects of the manganese ore dust.

Bryan has this to say about the Manganese Ore pollution from the Port of Port Elizabeth; “Your drop-down menu doesn’t include the deleterious effects of the manganese ore being inhaled by residents and visitors to the nearby beaches, upon which I’ve predicated my calculations (of at least R102 000 of medical bills over a lifetime). Get rid of this eyesore, and lung-infecting health hazard. The area currently occupied by the ore facility and tank farm could be a FAR greater asset to the city’s residents and tourists alike. Transnet paid nothing (nada, zilch) for this land – it was simply ‘appropriated’ by Government way back in colonial times. Therefore Transnet has no valid jurisdiction over the controversial area.”
