“We want to get the Springs community involved in our movement, and we want them to get involved in taking care of their country,” said founder Jarette Petzer.
“We received a lot of support from local businesses and the Springs police who helped us to make this a reality.
“Today, we are especially proud to see the South African youth raising their hands and getting involved.”

Learners collected discarded rubbish items and raked loose leaves to restore Butler Park to a dignified state.
“This is the second time they have been here in Springs and we always try to support them as much as we can,” said ward councillor Dean Stone.
“There is a lot of illegal dumping in this area and some of the streets just look terrible, so it’s good to see people taking action.
“It’s also very good to see the youth getting involved. It’s time we show the community what we can do when we work together.”
