For the past 2 years, Grant has owned a Private Residence in Humewood.
Grant 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 Grant’s asset is estimated to be: R24000.
Grant has this to say about the Manganese Ore pollution from the Port of Port Elizabeth; “The ore dust leaves everything dirty in a short time after cleaning. It it difficult to keep up. My worry is what that dust in the air is doing to my lungs?”
