East Coasters join hands to clean up on Mandela Day
Scores of East Coasters lent a helping hand in cleaning up the Durban Harbour Yacht Club to honour Madiba.
On Mandela Day, people across the world are spending at least 67 minutes of their time doing community service in remembrance of the legacy of former president Nelson Mandela.
One woman was among the residents who rolled up their sleeves at the beach.
”It’s very important for us to give our time back for all the time Madiba has given us. So, we are happy to be here and to do our bit for the cleanup.”

ECR Managing Director Boni Mchunu said preserving and protecting our natural resources is vital.
”The 2022 floods in KZN, and then consistent with the pattern we are seeing every day are a reminder to us that, when waterways are clogged with pollution, it greatly increases the chances of flooding and damage to our areas which is still an ongoing concern for communities across the province.
“So today we really wanted to make a meaningful difference by sending our teams to clean up some of the rivers and parts of the coastline along our province.”
