NATIONAL NEWS - “This used to be a park where people came to relax and enjoy music. But now the Credit River has become a rubbish dump,” says Kliptown resident Caleb Woodworth.
Over the weekend he joined a group of residents who cleaned the river in Extension 9 in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg.
It was part of a project called ‘Greening our Jungle’ which was co-founded in 2018 by Dr Lee-Ann Sade Modley, an environmental scientist and senior lecturer at the University of Johannesburg.
The project had been started with the non-profit EnvironMentorz, which runs a summer school for primary school children.
The team has since grown to include more residents from Kliptown and Extension 9.
