Sese dirt: tainting Jwaneng�s shining diamonds

In the early 80’s the area was home to cattleposts and ploughing fields for Moshupa people, but today many people flock to this village due to shortage of accommodation and high rentals in Jwaneng.

Littering has become an eyesore and is hard to ignore. The village has two busy bars and a series of beer depots as well as small tuckshops that sell braai, potato chips and other refreshments in front of these bars. As you enter the village, you are confronted with used baby disposable diapers, overflowing litterbins and scattered plastics, papers and tins as well as overflowing waste cages. The situation is not only hazardous, but it is a cause for concern to Kgosi Justice Motlhalane who said there is no improvement even after the council introduced a waste collection van.
