Wardens from Modderbee donated mealie meal and blankets which were knitted by offenders for Mandela Day and worked on the nursery at the centre.
It took two days to clear out the nursery which was used as a dumping zone and they have now planted spinach, beetroot and other vegetables.
Various trees were also planted around the centre.
Officials from Modderbee got stuck in and raked leaves and cleaned up around the centre.

“As public servants, it is important for us to give back to the community.
“We will work with them until they can sustain themselves and we hope to do some skills training, share our resources and we also hope to bring in some probationers to work in the centre with us.
“Everything was already here, we just came in with TLC,” says Mabore Molokela, the manager of special programmes at Modderbee.
