POLLUTION EKURHULENI

Good day, I bought a house in Brackenhurst ext 2 in 2011 and in 2014, a powerful, pungent smell started in our area. It mostly occurred at night which left us breathless and feeling sick. I started out by contacting Ekurhuleni and getting people, residents, companies, Green Scorpions, Mandini Green Air, DA, Alberton Mayer, etc invovled in locating this source however it is now 2016 and the smell is getting worse and we are even further from locating it. I have contacted Radio 702 (John Robbie), Radio 94.7 and 94.2, two newspapers, Carte Blanche and have emailed a vast amount of factory/companies in the Alrode area to come on board and assist us with this problem. Initially it was a company that were burning rubber tyres to extract the oil and emissions from this process was pungent to say the least. They were stopped by Ekurhuleni however, I feel they have started up somewhere else as the smell continues. I need all the powers that be, government, private and any other lobbyists against pollution, to climb aboard so that we can trace these culprits polluting our air *******ly.
