On Wednesday, 02 February, we’re starting off with a major city-wide Clean-Up Campaign in Mitchell’s Plain Town Centre.
Over the course of the next couple of months, I invite every Capetonian to join me on this campaign in various parts of our beautiful city and do their part too to Keep Cape Town Clean Together.
In the January Adjustment Budget, we have allocated R5 million for a City-wide clean-up campaign. Residents deserve clean communities and I hope that with a consistent educational campaign we can turn the tide and change behaviour
More than 180 000 tonnes of waste is cleared annually from illegal dumping hotspots city-wide. Illegal dumping costs the City more than R300 million, and this is why a sustained focus to change behaviour is so vital.
Keeping our City clean is a high priority because a clean space creates openness and opportunity.
The vision I’ve spoken about for this beautiful City is to create a sense of civic pride, and have all residents get involved in looking after their communities to ensure that the City is neat and tidy for all.
To grow the economy we need to create a city of opportunity. The City staff and I will work every day to achieve this for more Capetonians, creating hope and pride amongst residents.
Help us to support the efforts of the City’s Solid Waste team by not illegally dumping or discarding waste in the street. Let’s Keep Cape Town Clean Together!
We can’t do it without you.
