Several residents, adhering to COVID-19 protocol participated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were pleased with the turnout and especially the three elderly, all older than 75 years, who came to assist. We wish through this kind of commitment by community members to take back our neighbourhood and re-establish it as a safe and family friendly environment,\u201d said Gary Hendricks, a member of the De Mist Neighbourhood Watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also wish to request residents of all neighbourhoods to take action, the more we achieve turnaround, the more this town will become what we once were proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also requested for De Mist residents to take ownership of the immediate surroundings of their yards and streets and to keep them clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a good start. Now we must maintain it and keep our hands on these areas that we cleaned,\u201d said Hendricks.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The De Mist Neighbourhood Watch would like to thank CCV Steel as well as DM Motor Mag for their involvement and making a vehicle available to assist with the clean-up project.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> For more information contact Gary Hendricks on 076 501
