A law must be passed immediately to force public servants to consume public service, that is to say, they must be compelled to send they kids to public schools etc.(1) and deny socialist-demagogues access to all capitalist creations(2)🤏🏿
Is that too much to ask🤷🏿‍♂️

@kgomotsoPuleK @CommunityBinPro @CleanerJoburg @mphophalatse1 The next stage of plans for this street involve indigenous flowers and grasses that are planted over stormwater drainage systems. So water will be harvested and cleaned at the same time 💙

Many dreams are coming together in planning a medicinal healing plant nursery on Water for the Future’s pilot site, which contributes to our creation of a green urban corridor. There has been a remarkable meeting of minds between environmental artist Hannelie Coetzee /1

and hold a discussion on many complexities that traditional healers are facing in securing special plants. This is an evolving story and one that WFTF is so proud to be a part of producing. /5

This is just the first of many collaborations to come. Unfortunately, as expected, fresh dumping has already taken place and much work is needed to inspire the respect this field is due.

After months of planning, we commemorated World Wetlands Day (02 Feb) with WFTF and community members clearing a former wetland of trash and felled wood. The field lies over the river, which prior to development was a wetland.

funded by @Goetheinstitut and @britishcouncil – an enormous thank you to allowing us the means to strengthen ties with the figures who make up the glorious community of Bez Valley, as well as having a fresh clean field for recreation, home and gardening.
