Question 1: challenges faced by local government and municipalities &
households with regards to municipal waste management in South Africa
Identify the challenges that are faced, by not only local government and
municipalities, but also households with regards to municipal waste management
in South Africa with specific reference to the report. (Remember to reference the
source) [10]
Identifying the challenges faced by local government, municipalities, and households in
South Africa regarding municipal waste management involves considering various
factors. In South Africa, municipal waste management faces several significant
challenges affecting both local governments, municipalities, and households. Drawing on
the report by Polasi, Matinise, and Oelofse (2020), key issues include the following:
Limited Financial Resources
Many local governments and municipalities struggle with insufficient infrastructure for
waste collection, sorting, recycling, and disposal. This includes a lack of modern
equipment, vehicles, and facilities to handle waste efficiently. This challenge affects both
waste management operations and the quality of services provided to households.
Municipalities face budget constraints that hinder their capacity to invest in modern waste
management systems and technology as noted by Khattak, Wu and Ahmad (2023). This
often leads to a reliance on outdated methods and underfunded collection services, which
exacerbates the waste problem. Budget constraints and financial limitations impact the
ability of municipalities to invest in and maintain effective waste management systems.
This includes the costs associated with waste collection, treatment, and disposal, as well
as investments in infrastructure and technology.
Inefficient Collection and Infrastructure
Many municipalities struggle with inadequate infrastructure for waste collection and
disposal. The inability to extend proper collection services to all areas, especially in rural
and informal settlements, leaves a significant proportion of waste unmanaged, often
resulting in illegal dumping (Sahu, Pani & Santos, 2022).
