Cllr Sekwaila joined Ward Cllr Zanele Nyembe, ward committee members, and community volunteers. Teams from city services like Joburg Water, Pikitup, City Power, and CRUM were also there to help. Local groups like Ekhaya Neighbourhood and the Community Workers Programme supported the campaign as well.
The clean-up focused on collecting waste, clearing illegal dumps, and repairing infrastructure. Here’s what each team accomplished:
Cllr Sekwaila emphasized the importance of community support in protecting local infrastructure. He urged residents to report vandalism whenever they see it. “Our city’s infrastructure faces many challenges, including vandalism. We need everyone’s cooperation to protect it,” he stated. Cllr Sekwaila encouraged residents to work with city officials to keep neighborhoods clean and safe.
During the clean-up, Cllr Sekwaila also reminded residents to conserve water. Due to drought, climate change, and high water loss, Johannesburg faces serious water shortages. He urged residents to report leaks and reduce water waste. Saving water supports the city’s goal of better service for all.
The #KleenaJoburg campaign is an ongoing effort across Johannesburg. By addressing waste, repairing infrastructure, and involving the community, the city is making neighborhoods cleaner and safer. Community members can help by staying involved, reporting issues, and conserving water. Together, these efforts make #KleenaJoburg a success.
