Clean Surf Project turns its attention to Winklespruit Beach

Clean Surf Project is doing their part in removing waste that continues to wash up on the shores of Amanzimtoti beaches in the aftermath of the flooding.

CLEAN-UP operations remain a necessity for beaches along the Sapphire Coast as the rains continue to wash rubbish down the rivers and onto the shorelines. The Clean Surf Project (CSP) focused its efforts on Winklespruit Beach on March 15.

Rainy conditions on the day did little to deter the team, which managed to collect 27 bags of waste and 17 tyres.

Vusi Michael Zondi, of the Clean Surf Project, with some of the bags of waste collected.

Romy Wenzel, of the CSP said, “Clean-up operations continue on the northern and southern sides of the Illovo River. Our current challenges are that the high tides and currents keep on washing up plastic waste on a daily basis. More continually washes up on the shore, so help from the community in any way is appreciated.”
