Active citizen Sean Williams and his public benefit organisation Live Life Always is aiming to see 100 000 bags of litter collected in the areas of Fourways, Sunninghill, Kyalami, Lonehill and Douglasdale by the end of the year.
Williams said it was his passion to clean up the planet and reduce the number of plastic that lands up in the oceans.
“Everyone has to get involved in saving this planet or we will not have a planet in the near future. We are destroying this planet at an alarming rate and only together, we can change the world,” said Williams.

“I want to leave a legacy for my children to continue after I leave this planet.”
He added, “I am passionate about employing unemployed township residents who have nothing and no hope. I love educating children at schools as they are the future of the planet.”

Williams and his team collect about 1 600 bags of litter each week, 50 per cent of which is recycled. “The team cleans up Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 3.30pm and over the past five months we have collected 38 289 bags, which is around 268 023kg of litter and we have also built 51 ecobrick dustbins.”
