School learners join The Moot Project to give community a facelift

The broken sidewalk on Pierneef Street was fixed and repaved to make the road safer for pedestrians.

School learners joined members of The Moot Project to focus on giving the local streets in dire need a facelift.

The team worked tirelessly on Terblanche Street in Villieria last week repainting the lines on the road, picking up litter and rubbish in and around the road, pruning the trees, cleaning the canal and cutting the long grass.

Last week the team also finished work in Wonderboom South.

According to Johan Oberholster (who is one of the original founders of the project), they spent five days amidst heavy traffic cleaning the streets.

Oberholster admitted keeping them clean would be way harder.

That is why The Moot Project contracted a team of cleaners to maintain their hard work.

The salaries of these workers as well as the equipment they need to do their work comes courtesy of donations by Moot residents, said Oberholster.

Oberholster were very pleased with the progress the team has made this year.

“We are especially pleased with the renovation work on the iconic Rietondale park and its surrounding areas.

“Moot Project wants residents to make the Moot a beautiful place to live in and call themselves proud residents,” he concluded.
