Locals help keep community park clean
"Keeping the park clean will hopefully make people think twice before they litter here."
While some people fold their arms and demand the Tshwane metro do everything, a group from Mamelodi decided to pitch in and help officials cut grass at a local park.
The 12 residents lent a helping hand to metro officials tasked with cutting overgrown grass at the Tsakane community park in Mamelodi east this week.
Brandishing brooms, the residents together with local ward councillor Jack Mukhari helped clear the cut grass.
The grass was put in refuse bags, leaving the community park tidy and beautiful.
Muhkari said he was able to organise the refuse bags as well as food for the group.
“This group of proactive residents took it upon themselves to make sure their community park looks better than ever with the help of the metro workers.”
Mukhari said he was happy to see the locals helping out to look after their community by taking care of the facilities.
He encouraged the group to continue taking care of the park.
“Keeping the park clean will hopefully make people think twice before they litter here,” said Mukhari.
He added that they also engaged with the community members to stop littering at the park.
Mukhari concluded by encouraging the community members to keep the park clean as well as raising environmental awareness.
