In a significant move towards promoting a cleaner and greener environment, Deputy President Paul Mashatile recently launched the Clean Cities and Towns campaign in Gauteng Province.

This nationwide initiative aims to foster cleaner, greener, and more inclusive urban spaces, while advancing sustainability, equality, and solidarity among all citizens.

The launch event took place at the historic Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown, a symbolic venue that underscores the importance of community and collective action. Deputy President Mashatile was joined by key stakeholders, including Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi, Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero, and the MMC for Transport Kenny Kunene.

Addressing a gathering of community members, local leaders, and stakeholders, Deputy President Mashatile emphasized the importance of collective action in achieving a cleaner and healthier environment. "Today, we embark on a journey to reclaim our cities and towns, to make them cleaner, greener, and more livable for all," he said. "This campaign is not just about cleaning our surroundings; it's about building a sense of community and ownership among citizens."

The Clean Cities and Towns Campaign is a community-led initiative that encourages citizens to come together for community cleaning activities throughout townships and villages. By working together, communities can promote cleaner surroundings, cultivate a sense of community spirit and pride, and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable environment.
