Love Your Street Campaign Today, we took the Love Your Street campaign brigade to Kliptown, Soweto. We were joined by the team from the City of Johannesburg led by Executive Mayor of CoJ Cllr Dada Morero The work to clean the streets, clearing illegal dumping sites, cutting grass, clearing illegal dumping sites, and converting unused opening spaces into useful community spaces continued. Tomorrow, we are going back into Kliptown to continue this work and for community engagements about illegal dumping, improved refuse removal services etc. We have also committed to mobilise an all of government and society approach to the revitalisation of the Kliptown Square - the Kliptown Square is too important to the history, present and future of this country to be allowed to rescind to a state of disrepair. I am grateful to the community activist Ricardo who became my personal chaperone today whilst reminding me of the need to also support sparks of hope. Simultaneously, we also rolled-out the Love Your Street Campaign in Gqeberha in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Bay led by Executive Mayor Cllr Babalwa Lobishe. The full schedule of the week-long Love Your Street campaign in Gqeberha can be found on the GCIS socials We invite you to join us in the Campaign to “Love Your Street” across every province by: • Stopping littering • Stopping illegal dumping • Make public spaces feel safe especially for women and children. Love Your Street campaign does not absolve municipalities of their responsibility to provide reliable refuse removal, tackling illegal dumping and cutting overgrown grass in our neighbourhoods and CBDs. It is your partnership, so please join the movement - let’s love our streets. Loved streets are crime-free streets #LoveYourStreet #LovedStreetsAreCleanStreets #PlayYourPart #GCIS #cityofjohannesburg
