Communities to clean Gauteng province as part of World Environment Day celebrations
3 Jun 2010 Communities across Gauteng province committed to clean their areas during the World Environment Day celebrations on 5 June 2010. Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and municipalities is embarking on clean-ups and greening activities on the day to ensure that the province celebrates its commitment to protecting the environment. As the environment celebrations are during Youth Month, we are calling on young people in particular to not only participate in the activities, but to lead in taking environmental issues beyond the day's celebrations. This is because the effect of the environment will be felt by future generations. The clean-ups will coincide with the 2010 FIFA World Cup because as government, we believe that we need to welcome our international soccer loving communities into an environment that is clean and healthy. For this reason, we are calling on all communities to embark on clean-ups within their residential areas. Venues for clean-ups within municipalities are as follows: Ekurhuleni
* Venue: Tembisa High School
* Led by: executive mayor of Johannesburg, MEC, MMCs and MD of Pick-it-Up; 74 areas identified within all the wards of the municipality Metsweding
