WIEGO's response to the attacks on waste pickers who work at the Genesis Landfill in Johannesburg in June 2018. The atttacks, in which reclaimers homes were raided and workers injured -- at least 15 hopitalized, 4 in serious condition -- were carried out by a private security force. WIEGO calls on organised workers in South Africa and internationally to stand in solidarity against the multinational Averda's employment of brute force against the Genesis landfill reclaimers.
