Tshwane mayor Solly Msimanga has during the metro’s monthly clean-up campaign, Tshwelopele, urged residents not to litter.

Msimanga said residents should use of dustbins to dispose of trash instead of the ground.

“Besides using dustbins to separate recyclable waste from non-recyclables, you ought to stop littering around,” he said last week,

Msimanga said residents should ensure garbage bins were emptied timely and trash disposed of appropriately.
