Moot project continues to improve Rietondale
The project continues to keep the Rietondale park clean and well-painted even this year.
Upon spotting potholes in North street, Die Moot Project reported it to the City of Tshwane.
Die project is and has always been about the community working together for the community. It has proven again that things get done when members work together.
Founders Johan Oberholster and Hennie Mostert took hands with the residents of Rietondale a while ago and also have the backing of the Rietondale Home Owners’ and Residents’ Association (RHOARA).
“We decided to systematically refresh all the municipal infrastructure in Rietondale and several residents and RHOARA contributed their own funds to make this happen,” said Oberholster.
He said he drove around on a Saturday about three weeks ago and dropped a pin at every pothole in North Street.
“This was followed up by the current area representative of Die Moot Project more recently, who did the same,” he said.
Last week, Tshwane went to North street and fixed all potholes in two days. The project also cleaned the entire Tom Jenkins Pass from top to bottom and cut the grass all along Tom Jenkins Drive next to the experimental farm.
“In addition to Die Moot Project, the former Moot Project area representative of Rietondale, Anita Langridge and her husband, Nigel, Carla de Jong and her husband, Douwe and Ronel de Wet, the current area representative and her husband, Wim, made great contribution,” he said.
The project continues to keep the Rietondale park clean and well-painted even this year.
“We had a large skropsessie (the term we use for a cleaning session) in Rietondale a while ago attended by a number of residents, in addition, during the protracted Tshwane municipal worker strike, Die Moot Project employed a contract worker sponsored by RHOARA to clean the park two days a week,” he said.
He said the entire park is left in a terrible state after the sporting events every weekend.
“Now that the four Tshwane workers are back, we have stopped doing their cleaning as they have more than enough manpower to do it themselves,” Oberholster said.
The Moot project never stops cleaning the community and never will, as it is working on another project.
“All this is made possible by funding provided by residents and the assistance of the people mentioned before, as well as the guidance, organisational skills and experience provided by Die Moot Project.”
