🎥 WATCH | HAPPENING NOW AT #WasteCon2026! ♻️ “In the city of gold, we are still burying gold. Only now, much of it arrives in a refuse bag.” MEC Ewan Botha takes the stage at WasteCon 2026, challenging industry leaders, innovators and environmental practitioners to rethink waste, not as a problem to dispose of, but as an economic opportunity waiting to be unlocked! Under the theme “Golden Legacy, Green Future: Innovating for Excellence,” the MEC sets a bold vision for a Gauteng where waste creates industries, recycling builds businesses, and reclaimers become tomorrow's employers. 💬 The challenge? Stop perfecting the art of disposal and start building an economy around recovery! #WasteCon2026 #MECEwanBotha #CircularEconomy #WasteToWealth #GreenEconomy #GrowingGautengTogether #MakingEnvironmentEveryonesBusiness
