Residents get their hands dirty to clean up litter
Residents from all over came out to support the initiative.
Members of the Lonehill community and surrounding areas joined hands in a clean-up initiative on June 3.
Locals pulled up their sleeves on a warm winter’s day and got their hands dirty, picking up litter at the corner of Lonehill Boulevard and Main Road.
Samantha Smith of O-Yes Properties organised the clean-up with the help of Live Life Always organisation co-founder Lovemore Robson and the support of a few local businesses.
“I just decided you know what, let’s just jump in and get our hands dirty, it’s a great way to get the community together and to get to know each other. I partnered up with Live Life Always,” said Smith.
She added they would definitely be having more of these clean-ups in the future. “I personally enjoy engaging with the community and I would prefer to do this every month.”
Nkosi Vundla, one of the volunteers said, “I don’t really go out during the weekend so I come and help out. I love nature so this has become a hobby for me.”
At the end of the day, the dedicated team had collected dozens of garbage bags filled with litter.
