Truely the City of Filth

The Witness: "Plagued by litter"
I LIVE in a “smart” suburb of a provincial capital, about 200 metres from the front gate of the premier’s official residence. My home is opposite a girls’ school, which styles itself as offering “quality education”, and just anothe­r half kilometre away is an exclusive boys’ school, which has marked its elitism with high walls and spiked fencing. Yet, I reside in one of the filthiest neighbourhoods.
