All these created an untenable situation for the nearby house owners. They not only lived in fear but struggled to deal with the rat infestation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ndzoyi said they wanted Ithemba to be an inspiration to the community. \u201cWe want the wall of this passageway to be a public display of information with writings and mural painting,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ndzoyi described Ithemba as their first major initiative, with more to come. He urged the community to preserve and protect their environment by ensuring it remains clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobantu Primary school principal Winiswa Nkuhlu- Bulawa said they appreciate the effort by the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clean now. Our children go with confidence when they pass there. It used to be scary. They used to be robbed by criminals. As teachers we used to stand there and wait for our children when they come to school or went home,\u201d she stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nkuhlu-Bulawa said the school is also involved in the efforts to improve the footpath. \u201cFrom the beginning, when the initiative was started to clean rubble, we were part of it as teachers. Even now, as we are still busy drawing the walls on weekends, some of our children are taking part,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
