Our focus today (Monday) was to take away all the graffiti we are seeing on the flat buildings.  \u201cIf you look at what\u2019s written on these walls\u2009\u2026\u2009it\u2019s not a good image for our children. We are aiming to start changing the mindsets of our people because it\u2019s important to be proud of where we\u2019re living. We can start by cleaning up the areas ourselves, and not just blaming the City of Cape Town for whatever goes wrong in the area,\u201d Walker told <em>TygerBurger<\/em>. She added that dumping in the area is unnecessary: \u201cOur people need to stop dumping. It creates filth and this is an unhealthy environment for our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Magda Kleyn, the CEO and founder of Tehillah Community Collaborative, said the dumping and dirt in the community lead to health problems. \u201cWe need to teach our people not to be dumping in the area otherwise we are not going to win the fight against diarrhoea. Not only children are getting diarrhoea, but adults too. We need to work together as a community and take pride.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Mayor Dan Plato told the newspaper he is not happy with the state of communities around the city. \u201cDirt is lying on vacant erven and vacant pieces of land and it\u2019s not healthy. We started [here] three weeks ago with the campaign and I\u2019m very disappointed to see how the area looks. People don\u2019t seem to care or worry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cFor the residents it\u2019s a case where the [local] government must clean up behind them every day and that notion, that mindset, must really change. It must come to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>In a statement, the City explained that the cleanup operation followed Plato\u2019s tabling of the adjustment budget last week, which saw an additional R115m being allocated towards cleaning up communities:<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u2013 R56m will go towards additional cleaning of informal settlements;<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u2013 R14m is allocated for the recruitment of Expanded Public Works Programme workers who will assist with community cleanups;<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u2013 R20m is allocated to the Area Cleaning Division in the Solid Waste Management Directorate, specifically for services in the poorer areas; and<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u2013 An additional R25m is earmarked for the Recreation and Parks Department which will go towards grass cutting and maintenance across all wards.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It\u2019s up to the community to
