Emma Koppie clean up
LINDEN – Darrenwood, Linden, Montroux, and Risidale residents team up to clean up the historic Emma Koppie.
Residents of Darrenwood, Linden, Montroux and Risidale took matters into their own hands and got together to remove litter and rubble from the historic Emma Park on 28 September.
Emma Park is a reasonably large area that stretches from Risidale Primary School to the Irish Club on 5th Avenue in Linden.
The koppie includes a landmark monument called Emma Koppie which is in commemoration of the centenary of the “Groot Trek” of 1838 when Afrikaner farmers moved from the Cape into the Free State and Transvaal.
The Risidale and Montroux Residents Association were happy to be of service to their community.
“As residents we are well aware of the challenges in keeping the residential areas in a reasonable state of repair, especially with the slowly deteriorating service delivery we are experiencing,” said the group’s website on the clean-up initiative.
“We all feel the frustration of having the recreational areas we do, but not having them serviced as they should.”
