Ed on the Manganese Ore

By

For the past 11 years, Ed has owned a Private Residence in Richmond Hill.

Ed estimates the additional monthly maintenance and cleaning costs on this asset, as the result of the manganese ore, to be in the region of R1 000 per month.

The cost of accelerated wear and tear over the life of Ed’s asset is estimated to be: R35 000.

Ed has this to say about the Manganese Ore pollution from the Port of Port Elizabeth; “There is no control over the dust, which is a recognised carcinogen.
The hundreds of trucks bringing the dust from Markman are destroying our roads.
Markman has been turned into an unregulated manganese dump.
It is an eyesore on one of our remaining tourist attractions – the beaches.”
