Ferguson said the association will no longer sit and wait for the government to develop regulations for the industry.
• He said they will roll out a series of reforms where persons driving around with vans with the infamous slogan “buying scrap iron old battery buying” can be easily identified as legitimate scrap iron dealers.
• Ferguson added they have had enough and will place their feet firmly on the ground and those who refuse to “shape up will have to ship out”. The association will not hesitate if it becomes necessary to inform the authorities of its members involved in the illicit trade since their actions threaten the livelihood of thousands of honest scrap iron employees.
