Winners across the City receive a trophy and R2 000 in cash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schools had to submit applications by Wednesday 1 May, with awards announced from the first clean-up event held in September, continuing throughout October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"YouTube\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_96cd98d2\"><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hMLUQwgCObY?si=LyCm0vJpEQuKFs0I\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview with <span><em>People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span>, Hill-Lewis says the initiative is important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is an idea that I came up with and I\u2019ve pushed it through to implementation now. We are trying to inspire pride in our city, in our communities and it has to start with young people,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, on the negative side, in South Africa we have an incredible disrespect of public places and public infrastructure. This is our country, it\u2019s our city, it\u2019s our community. Let\u2019s look after it together and let\u2019s show pride in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the programme started with awarding young people participating in clean-ups, the awards have expanded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love those kinds of people and I want to celebrate those kinds of people where they are already doing things and inspire others to do that as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the ways I thought of doing that is to find some of the people doing really amazing inspirational stuff and just celebrate them. That\u2019s how the Mayor\u2019s Civic Pride Awards was born,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has expanded hugely. It is not just clean-ups, people doing after-school programmes, looking after kids, helping kids study maths, looking after the elderly, you name it. There is so much that people are doing out there and young people that we have a lot to be excited about in our future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Groenvlei High
