Get involve to clean-up Boksburg Lake on March 22

As part of the National Water Week on March 22, the Rotary Club of Boksburg, in partnership with other stakeholders, will clean up Boksburg Lake.

The clean-up will start at 10am at the Market Street entrance.

According to Derek Fox, Rotary Club of Boksburg president, due to the dire state of the lake they have decided to roll up their sleeves and take matters into their own hands.

“The Boksburg Lake, which used to be the most attractive place in Boksburg, has now deteriorated due to the negligence of the municipality. The clean-up day will have nothing to do with promoting any political party or anyone’s interests, other than the community of Boksburg,” he said.

Fox said they are urging the community of Boksburg to come out in numbers to volunteer as well as sponsor the initiative.

“We are calling on schools, church groups, service clubs, and book clubs to lend a helping hand on the day. We are also calling on companies to sponsor us with cleaning equipment,” Fox said.

Anyone who would like to pledge their support can contact Fox on 082 886 0651.

The National Water Week campaign is aimed at educating the public about their responsibility in water conservation initiatives and also raising awareness around the need to protect and conserve the country’s water resources.
