Braamfontein Spruit is ready
SANDTON – The team is well known to the Bryanston east community for keeping the grass cut, removing graffiti from the bridges on Belgrave Street, and Bryanston Drive and clearing debris along the river.
The Braamfontein Spruit is ready when you are. The team of the Braamfontein Spruit Rehabilitation Project has returned to maintain the area along the spruit in Bryanston east between River Road and Brooke Avenue.
According to founder Barry Cribb, the group are happy to be ‘back and kicking’.”The area is starting to take shape again and as the lockdown moved to Level 3, I have noticed more people coming to the river to take walks with their families, dogs or even cycle,” he said. The team are well known to the Bryanston east community for keeping the grass cut, removing graffiti from the bridges on Belgrave Street and Bryanston Drive and clearing debris along the river.
Cribb noted that while it was great to see that many more residents in the community seemed to have discovered the area, the team was only able to resume their services due to the continuous contributions it received during the lockdown. “It just shows how much the area means to so many people and we are happy to continue looking after it until there is such a time for everyone to safely return,” said Cribb.
He added that as we eased into the middle of winter, the grass would not need to be cut as regularly, so it gave the team time to work on other projects that they have been meaning to get to such as the planting and maintaining of succulents.
