Green Tech Solutions, a community-driven initiative, was launched on September 18 at Voorbrand Primary School in Forest Hill.

The organisation aims to promote environmental sustainability through e-waste management and community outreach programmes.

Aussie Themba Ndlovu, Unathi Nikani, and Ward 55 Clr Dr Rashieda Landis supported community members with the vision and resources to empower themselves and their community, which led to the start of the e-waste project.

Through a partnership with WasteAid and Believers Care Society, the waste management team of community members gained valuable skills in e-waste recycling, dismantling, and responsible waste disposal.

The launch event, themed Clean Today, Greener Tomorrow – It Starts with You, featured a community clean-up drive in Forest Hill, highlighting the importance of local involvement in environmental sustainability.

Green Tech Solutions plans to partner with more schools in Joburg South and local organisations to drive positive change and promote a greener future in the area.
