Around 100 fed-up community members from W Section in Khayelitsha, Cape Town have rolled up their sleeves to clean up discarded plastics, rotting food and even human waste strewn across their streets:
Fed-up community members from W Section in Khayelitsha, Cape Town have rolled up their sleeves to clean up uncollected rubbish strewn across their streets.
The volunteers claim the contractor hired by the City of Cape Town stopped cleaning the streets over two months ago because of a dispute with the City. Residents complain that the smell around their homes is unbearable and that the area is infested with flies. Community leader Nzwana said: ‘The City is not getting to the source of the problem, which is not employing people through its Expanded Public Works Programme. People from this community should look after cleaning services in this area because contractors care more about profits than the areas they serve.’
