The Lydenburg PRIDE Project is hosting a Green Week initiative that starts today and ends on March 14. The public is invited to join the Green Week clean-up initiative and help restore the town.

Participants will gather at 08:00 in the Spur’s parking lot to proceed with the clean-up.

Past André Hanekom of the Lydenburg Mashishing Business Chamber (LMBC) said it is a project that encourages people to make a difference in the town. According to Hanekom, everyone is welcome to join.

“The public can participate from wherever they will be when we do the launch. It can be by cleaning outside their businesses, workplaces or homes. The aim is to make sure that during that week, we clean various areas in our town. We also plan to tackle various unsightly illegal dumping spots in town,” he explained.

“This makes it possible for all of us to have a clean town, of which we can be proud.”

The chamber encourages participants to share their photos and forward them to the LMBC.

The PRIDE Project has been going on for two years and depends entirely on donations.
