Human Rights Month welcomed with clean-up campaign in KaNyamazane
Dignity packs were donated to the grade six and seven learners of Thandulwazi Primary School.
To celebrate and create awareness of Human Rights Month in March, the community stakeholders in Likazi came together for a clean-up campaign at Thandulwazi Primary School.
Some residents, Imvelo Recyclers and the KaNyamazane Zonda Insila Programme of the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and Land and Environment, cleaned up the area around the school on Monday March 6.
Portia Mathebula of Imvelo Recyclers and KaNyamazane Zonda Insila said the aim of the campaign was to show the learners how to take care of the environment.
“’Human rights and the environment’ is our motto. We wanted to teach the learners their right to a clean environment, but they need to take the responsibility to take care of it first to enjoy it. It is better to teach them while they are young,” Mathebula said.
