Where the council has neglected to clean up, Boksburgers are stepping in and making a difference to our surroundings.
Helen Kruger, founder of the non-profit organisation Boksburg Community Project (BCP), invites residents to be part of their upcoming clean-ups.
“Our philosophy is to upgrade our city, which in turn, changes our outlook on our community and, hopefully, drives more community engagement and cohesion,” she said of the work they have tackled in Boksburg including the Atlas Spruit on July 22.
