    Dead donkey dumped in front of houses

    A donkey carcass dumped in front of houses in Phaphamani informal settlement raised health concerns amongst residents.

    A donkey carcass dumped in front of houses in Phaphamani informal settlement raised health concerns amongst residents.

    According to resident Nomonde Fanga, children play with the carcass and dogs in the area feast on it. Fanga said she woke up on the morning of Thursday 4 September to the donkey lying in front of her perimeter fence.

    "We called SPCA on that day but Maloli (SPCA official) came on Friday in the area responding on another call-out about coughing dogs". Fanga said someone from the area tried SPCA again and was told by an umlungukazi (white woman) that the SPCA doesn't have resources for the removal of a dead donkey.

    Fanga said she called the municipality's health department on Monday and reported the matter but Makana has not responded. Nobody in the area has claimed ownership of the dead animal, which, as it decomposes, causes an unbearable stench.

    Responding to a telephone query from Grocotts, animal inspector at SPCA Monwabisi Dingane said "it is not the institution's duty to remove dead animals but the municipality's health department".

    Makana municipal spokesperson Yoliswa Ramokolo denied that the municipality received any call about the donkey.

    "Yes it is our duty to remove dead animals, but only from public spaces. We didn't receive such a complaint though," she said.
