Residents falling ill in polluted Ruimveldt

These Ruimveldt residents have to walk through slush and garbage to get home.

Four months after a Ruimveldt woman died from suspected air pollution, other residents are now falling ill and are awaiting a full investigation into the pollution.

For quite some time, Ruimveldt residents have been complaining of air pollution caused by the smoke emitting from a generator at Single Food Export (SFE), a factory in the Ruimveldt area.

The smoke was cited as a contributory factor in the death of a Ruimveldt woman. Anthony Cozier,
