Exploring Indigenous Ways of Managing Informal Diapers Disposal in the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve
Abstract
This study seeks to explore indigenous ways in managing informal diapers disposal in the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve. Disposable diapers are increasingly popular within the Vhembe biosphere reserve. However, the disposal of these diapers in areas without access to solid waste management infrastructure has become a scourge upon, low-income communities, presenting a multitude of health and environmental risks. As such, indigenous knowledge seems to have potential to address this challenge. This is because indigenous methods for waste management are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Indigenous knowledge systems play a crucial role in communities worldwide. However, the indigenous knowledge in communities is rarely known as people are more exposed to modern culture. The obviatives of this study was to determine causes of informal diapers disposal and to determine ways of managing informal diaper disposal in indigenous communities in the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve. The findings of this study provided awareness on the importance of indigenous ways in managing informal diapers disposal.
