All in a day’s work. We debriefed and shook hands on a job well done.

A word of thanks

In addition to the fantastic work we
did with Deloitte, the river clean-up
also provided us with an opportunity
to connect with several other
organisations, and we cannot thank
them enough for their contributions:
• ARMOUR (Action for Responsible
Management of Our Rivers): This
NPO is instrumental in conveying
awareness regarding the greater
Jukskei River’s need for ongoing
waste management and river
conservation initiatives. Besides
conducting an opening brief
regarding the state of our rivers, the
team helped clean-up the waste in
the river and remove invasive plant
species like Spanish reeds.
• Alex River Warriors: These ladies are
leaders in their community, where
they work protecting and preserving
our water resources in Alexandra and
Gauteng. They assisted our teams of
their own volition.
• Country Line Green Warrior: This
environmental division of Country Post-event clean-up by Country Line.
Line is unrelenting in its commitment
to environmental stewardship, and
its pre- and post-event work does
not go unnoticed.
• Life Green Group: This group is
turning the approximately 12m
3
of invasive plants the volunteers
removed into compost at its site in
Waterfall City.
• STM (Southern Turf Management):
Additional bags were crucial for the
clean-up efforts.
• Phambili Services: We are grateful
to this reliable waste management
company, which ensured the safe
disposal of all the litter collected.
