YET another substation has undergone a radical transformation thanks to Enviro Fixers Durban North.
The group comprises of local residents uplifting and beautifying Durban North.
They also safeguard the environment by replacing alien invader plants with indigenous plants.
As before, Enviro Fixers teamed up with local artist, Giffy Duminy who added a splash of colour to the substation situated on Grosvenor Crescent. The residents of the road funded the project leading to the beautiful metamorphosis.

According to Helen Koch, member of Enviro Fixers Durban North, the ‘aurea’ in the name refers to the glorious orange vibrancy of the flowers.
“This is our third substation rehabilitation project we’ve done. The first was on the corner of Romsey Grove and Kenneth Kaunda Road and the second was on the corner of Beachway which we cleaned off graffiti tags.
“We are really pleased with the latest project as it was through the residents of Grosvenor Crescent who fully funded it. Going forward we would love the neighbourhood and the north Durban community to band together and work with us.

“The feedback has also been incredibly pleasing. The residents love it and when Giffy was painting the mural, so many people stopped to admire the work he’d done,” she said.
Koch said their newest project was to help a local sports club do their verges and source plants that would help brighten the space.
Another upcoming project the Enviro Fixers were looking at was painting and cleaning the bus stations around the area.
