Bonendale Petit Bonanjo in Crisis: Residents Battle Rubbish, Illness as Local Authorities Fail to Act

Residents of Bonendale Petit Bonanjo, a neighbourhood within the Douala IV municipality, are facing a dire situation. According to Barrister Tambe Alexandre, local authorities abandoned the area, causing a buildup of waste, air pollution, and an increase in illnesses like cholera.

Mountains of Trash, Mountainous Problems

Images and videos shared by Barrister Tambe depict overflowing waste heaps, creating a breeding ground for disease. The stench and air pollution are reportedly causing respiratory problems among residents. The situation is further exacerbated by blocked roads due to the overflowing rubbish dumps.

Blaming Fingers Point in Many Directions

The blame game appears to be in full swing. Residents accuse the Douala IV Council, sanitation companies HYSACAM and SECA, and even the Chief of Bonendale of neglecting their needs. The accusation is that these entities have failed to collect rubbish for over a year, leaving residents to fend for themselves amidst a health crisis.

A Call for Help

Barrister TAMBE’s plea is clear: the residents of Bonendale Petit Bonanjo desperately need assistance. They are calling on public media to highlight their plight and urge the responsible authorities to take immediate action.

What Now for Bonendale Petit Bonanjo?

The situation in Bonendale Petit Bonanjo raises serious concerns about sanitation and public health in Douala. The lack of response from local authorities is unacceptable. It is crucial for the Douala IV Council, sanitation companies, and the Chief of Bonendale to work together to address this crisis. The health and well-being of the residents depend on a swift and comprehensive solution.

This is a developing story. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
