Residents pull up sleeves to clean Bloem's streets─── MARK STEENBOK 08:07 Sat, 27 Aug 2016
Bloemfontein - Residents from Lourierpark, Bloemdal and Ferreira yesterday joined hands to clean up their streets.
Hundreds of community members, including farmers and their workers, all pitched in to help pick up rubbish.
The organiser of the project, David Mackay, says the cleaning project was implemented due to the huge amount of illegal dumping on the side of the road.
Mackay adds that he hopes the project will inspire others to follow suit.
“We can help the community by standing together. If we leave everything to the municipality, we're not really moving forward. I must say, however, Gloria Tswale of the Refuge Department was kind enough to provide us with refuge bags. Tomorrow afternoon they will send a truck to help us remove the refuge bags so that the farmers do not have to do it themselves,” says Mackay.
