The study investigated solid waste management in the Mafikeng Municipality
including the attitudes of the residents towards the waste management services
rendered by the municipality. The study found the followings: the main sources of
waste were from households due to minimal industrial activity in the area; that the
residents had negative attitudes and perceptions about the waste management
services provided by the Municipality. The majority of residents were not involved in
the identification of needs and management of solid waste. They wanted to take an
active role in the planning, design and implementation of the service especially
where the formulation of policies are concerned; adequate policy mechanisms need
to be adopted to enforce proper behaviour in waste disposal. The study recommends
that:
• the community be involved in planning, design and implementation of the
service especially where the formulation of policies are concerned.
• adequate policy mechanisms need to be adopted to enforce proper behaviour
in waste disposal. / Thesis (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2003
