The Emfuleni Local Municipality is facing mounting scrutiny after more than R15 million was spent on overtime in February and March 2026 while refuse collection services collapsed across several communities. The DA has called for a full investigation into the spending, warning that those responsible must be held accountable, while residents in areas such as Vanderbijlpark have resorted to dumping waste at municipal offices in protest.
