Officials hope that residents take joint responsibility for the cleanliness of the city.
Strandfontein Beach is one of 10 Blue Flag beaches along the Cape Town coastline. And, while workers clean the space frequently, litter including discarded face masks were found in the nearby dunes. Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis says during a previous visit he was shocked to see how the Pavilion has deteriorated.
“We want to lead by example to instil pride in Cape Town and pride means take care of the place, taking a sense of pride in it. Making sure that it is clean, it is beautiful, look at the people behind us playing in a clean beach with no glass with no plastic,” says Hill-Lewis. Vandag het ons Strandfontein Strand en Pawiljoen n bietjie skoon gemaak. Ons ‘Clean Up’ veldtog gaan steeds voort en dis lekker om te sien dat Kapenaars uit kom om te help. Maar ons benodig selfs nog meer hulp om ons stad skoon te maak so gryp n besem en stiek uit!
