Tidy Towns Amanzimtoti transforms Beach Road
Tidy Towns partnered with various organisations and the community for a clean-up along Beach Road.
AN overgrown, polluted Amanzimtoti Beach Road experienced transformation into a cleaner, safer and more welcoming space for residents and visitors alike thanks to the helping hands of Tidy Towns Amanzimtoti, Budget Gardens and volunteers from the community on July 4.

Romy Wenzel, of Tidy Towns Amanzimtoti and Sapphire Coast Tourism, explained that with nearly 40 bags full of litter collected, the small group of volunteers made a big impact, all in the span of less than two hours.
The clean-up action focused on the area around the staircase connecting Carlyle Road and Beach Road. Following the clean-up, eThekwini Cleansing and Solid Waste worked hand in hand with Tidy Towns to collect the refuse bags.
