Ursula on the Manganese Ore

By

For the past 10 years, URSULA has owned a Commercial Property in 22 Mount Road.

URSULA estimates the additional monthly maintenance and cleaning costs on this asset, as the result of the manganese ore, to be in the region of R1500.00 per month.

The cost of accelerated wear and tear over the life of URSULA’s asset is estimated to be: Not sure.

URSULA has this to say about the Manganese Ore pollution from the Port of Port Elizabeth; “We have a pub and grub and the black dust is on everything. We have to clean the window rims everyday so the window closes properly, besides the fact that when you sit on the deck and a nice breeze blows in over the sea, it hits your eyes and they sting. There are schools all around me and they get the same gusts of wind. Move the facility for all our sakes. Its scary to think of what it has done to people already and has been written off to some other cause. There is space for it at Coega, lets clean up our waterfront and make it great – PE needs more tourism spots.”
