Umbilo spring-clean a joint effort

This was a collaborative clean-up with Parks, DSW, Metro Police, Human Settlements and Kenneth Gardens volunteers.

ABM staff Irene Chetty, Councillor Mmabatho Tembe, Moeketsi Mokoatle, Sabelo Mnqayi and Batho Mkhize help clean up in Hutchinson Road.

UMBILO’s Hutchinson Road and surrounding areas was the target of a city clean-up operation recently.

Ward 33 councillor, Mmabatho Tembe requested the clean-up after noticing the area needed attention. Tembe contacted South Durban Basin Area Based Management (ABM) for assistance, and a team arrived on Tuesday to undertake much-needed tree trimming, rubbish collection and a general spring clean.
