“Visitors’ first impressions of the area and its people must be that we live in a pigsty.
“This is a bad impression because KwaThema has been known for its clean state in all the neighbouring townships in Kwatsaduza.
“It is concerning that it is so filthy and that even sewage runs through the stalls,” she says.
Nomvula says they decided to take it upon themselves to clean the place and encouraged commuters to use the available refuse bins.
“There are refuse bins inside the taxi rank but people are choosing to throw items on the floor.
