AfriForum Centurion removes more than 500 rubbish bags

The removal of rubbish and weeds that grow on sidewalks is a sustainable project that AfriForum is undertaking in this area.

The AfriForum branch in Centurion removed more than 580 bags of rubbish in the Highveld area over the past two months.

The branch also saw to it that bushes were sprayed with poison on several sidewalks to prevent further growth.

According to JP Nel, AfriForum’s district coordinator for Greater Pretoria South, the branch has received many complaints about the cleanliness of this suburb in Centurion.

“It is important to drive sustainable cleaning projects in communities and take ownership of our environment.

“We want to encourage every resident to become involved in such projects.

“This project enables us to take ownership of the area and clean it ourselves to create a better environment for all residents,” he said.

The removal of rubbish and weeds that grow on sidewalks is therefore a sustainable project that AfriForum is undertaking in this area.

The streets that are cleaned weekly include Lutan Street, West Road, Nellmapius Drive, the Old Johannesburg Road and Hendrik Verwoerd Drive.

To get involved with AfriForum projects, visit their Centurion Facebook page and also join the Telegram groups.
