Organisation cleaning streets encourages citizens to join

We CARE 4 Nelspruit is adamant on bringing change to the city of Mbombela. They were once again hard at work cleaning at Anderson Street and other areas around the city.
They removed illegal posters, picked up litter, swept and removed overgrown vegetation from the paving.
On Tuesday morning the clean-up was still underway. This local initiative was launched in January and since then the organisation has not given up on bringing change and keeping the city clean.

They challenged the public on Facebook to share their selfies while removing the illegal posters.
Past TJ Maré from the organisation said after they saw how dirty the city was, the Nelspruit City Improvement District, Nelspruit Community Forum and Kruger Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism decided that they wanted to make a difference.
Maré said they are currently working together with a safety ambassador programme, which is a partnership between Nelspruit Improvement District and Ehlanzeni District Municipality. “This is to remove the posters as effectively as possible.”

He added that they are excited, because the By-Law Unit from Mbombela is cooperating with them.
“They are attending to issues where we need their cooperation, because we are not the law but the By-Law Unit can help a lot.”
Maré said this initiative is not only about cleaning the city; it is also about the people living in the city, too.
They also have plans to clean up other areas, as well.
