Introduction South Africa is estimated to generate domestically
a total of 12.7 million tonnes of waste per annum. In the
country, municipalities are facing increasing pressures and
challenges to provide waste management services due to the
growing waste generation. Every year approximately 3.67
million tonnes of this waste are not collected and treated
through formal waste collection systems, resulting in large
amounts being dumped illegally. Accordingly, South Africa
Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF), the
Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and The
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) International
Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) have partnered to
enhanced municipal solid waste management. During this
collaboration, local municipalities’ challenges and systems
failures were identified, and potential solutions investigated to
inform the implementation of interventions by UNEP in country
office. This report provides a summary of the findings.

MNO3704/Assessment 3 2024 5 Question 1 [10] 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).
In the context of municipal waste management in South Africa,
several challenges are faced by local government,
municipalities, and households. According to Polasi, Matinise,
and Oelofse (2020), the following key issues are prevalent:
1. Limited Waste Collection Coverage: A significant portion
of the population, particularly in informal settlements and
rural areas, does not receive adequate waste collection
services. This results in a substantial amount of waste
being illegally dumped, contributing to environmental
degradation.
2. Inadequate Infrastructure: Many municipalities lack the
necessary infrastructure, such as waste collection vehicles,
waste transfer stations, and recycling facilities. This
limitation hampers effective waste management and
contributes to the accumulation of waste in the
environment.
