“The community has to continue to maintain these spots which have been cleaned. I would like to encourage people to care for the environment and to spread the knowledge about the risks that come with illegal dumping and litter,” said Modiri.
Councillor Banda said, “The City of Johannesburg doesn’t have the budget to execute or to deliver on certain service delivery matters residents demand. We ought to take full responsibility for ensuring that we keep our community clean, together,” he added.
