MEC visits Umzinto for provincial campaign
Umdoni's mayor also announced that they are doing more to keep local areas clean.
Umdoni welcomed the MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, Siboniso Duma to the Umzinto town hall last week for a provincial campaign known as Good Green Deeds.
The MEC, who is leading this campaign stressed the importance of having a clean town which in turn attracts potential investors to boost the local economy.
He motivated communities to play a significant role towards the management of waste, keeping neighbourhoods clean, green and safe.
Over and above the awareness of a clean and healthy environment, MEC Duma highlighted that the department has an abundance of business opportunities and communities need to familiarise themselves with these opportunities and duly benefit from them.
In support of this programme, Umdoni’s mayor Cllr Sibongile Khathi mentioned that Umdoni has intensified its clean up campaigns to ensure local areas are kept clean and remains a great attraction to investors and holidaymakers.
“We are proud to mention that Umdoni is working hard to transform the area into a jewel if the South Coast,” said the mayor.
“We now have an additional four Blue Flag pilot status beaches, which brings the total to six. This is a great achievement for our municipality and this proves that we are working hard in keeping our local environment clean.”
