With this in mind, this committee would like to strongly recommends that efforts to fully implement and enforce the Air Quality Management Act, No. 39 of 2004; the National Environmental Management Act, No. 107 of 1998 (as amended in 2009) and the Waste Act, No 59 of 2008 are urgently required. South Africa urgently needs more Environmental Management Inspectors that work on 'brown issues' and it needs further capacitation of other spheres of government, but particularly local government, to design plans for the implementation of this legislation, and to enforce it.
