“Capital Park is very rich in history and is a beautiful suburb. It is also in the centre of all the important places one needs to visit,” he said.
Maifadi said it was important to him for his property to be well-maintained.
“You are not only doing it for yourself but also others around you,” he said.
He added that he has never won an award before and is very chuffed with the trophy.
“I am aware of the competition, but never thought that I will be named the winner.
“I was blown away when Donne-li informed me about the prize.
“A clean sidewalk exposes your beautiful home,” he said.
“Not only that, but you also help maintain the value of the suburb.”
Maifadi described the community involvement in Capital Park as “wonderful”.
“Most people living in Capital Park know each other and everyone greets everyone,” he said.
The sidewalk of the month competition is the brainchild of Capital Park Residents and Ratepayers’ Association (Caprra).
The trophies are awarded monthly, not only for the most beautiful pavement but also for the best maintenained.

“Newly elected ward councillor Leon Kruyshaar of Capital Park will take to the street this week to name the overall winners.”
