Love in action at Noordwyk Park as volunteers lead by example

Every Friday morning, while Midrand wakes up, the heart of Ward 112 is already beating at Noordwyk Park.

A group of dedicated residents has volunteered to clean and care for Noordwyk Park in Noordwyk, Midrand, not for money, not for praise, but for love of their community.

With smiles, gloves and brooms in hand, they sweep, they tidy, they beautify. They have turned Friday mornings into a celebration of togetherness – neighbours becoming friends, friends becoming family, all united by one park.

Ward 112 councillor Lerato Mphefo extended her gratitude for the unity in her ward. “I appreciate each and every volunteer. Working together for things like this is simple. We are doing this for our children to have a safe space, and I encourage everyone to work together, to make our ward better,” she said.

Otto Ramokoka said it is more than just cleaning; it is about pride. It is about showing the next generation what it means to take care of what belongs to all of us.

“We love our park and we love Ward 112. We come here every Friday because this park brings our community together. When we take care of our park, we take care of each other. Children now have a beautiful, welcoming space to play, families gather under clean trees, and morning joggers are greeted by friendly faces who keep the park shining.

These residents are the true champions of Ward 112,” said Ramokoka.

They do not wait, they act. They lead with love. This is how they build a better Midrand.

What started with a few passionate neighbours is now inspiring the whole ward, proving that when a community stands together, there is nothing they cannot do.
