there is air pollution from open-air rubbish burning, water and soil contamination from toxic waste, and fires fuelled by landfill gas and chemicals.\u003cbr/\u003e              Yet amidst the tragedy of it, many see the dumpsite as their only chance at survival.\u003cbr/\u003e              With Africa's growing population and urbanisation rate putting pressures on limited land resources, Dandora provides an excellent environment for pig rearing.\u003cbr/\u003e              Over fifty percent of the vast amounts of solid waste dumped untreated into the landfill every day is organic in nature.\u003cbr/\u003e              Pig farmer Alex Ngiduku Machari, 29, has grown up in Dandora.\u003cbr/\u003e              He owns 42 pigs – 10 of which he keeps in a pen, and the rest he lets roam the dumpsite.\u003cbr/\u003e              Machari says the pigs reared amongst the rubbish are more profitable than the ones in the pen.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"That pig, I release it in the morning, it goes then comes back.
