The e’Pap team joined forces with rhino conservationist and
activist, Sam Nkomo and his fellow walkers on Saturday 22 November to clean
Bulawayo’s filthy streets. Sam jumped
around at the last minute to get his walkers to work with us and it is living
proof that he is a man of action, rather than words. His commitment to the environment is
total. Thanks Sam and team for working with
us.
Organised by the City of Bulawayo, under the Bulawayo Solid Waste Improvement
Platform (BSWIP) this multi-stakeholder initiative is determined to help
restore the city to its former glory of being the cleanest city in the country
and beyond.
Before we left to clean “our” street, we were entertained by
some great dancers and we got to meet the mascot for the African Youth Games about to
start here. Our team cleaned 5th
Ave, including the noxious market and we were proud to do our bit for our
environment.
e’Pap Zimbabwe is committed to, “reduce, reuse, recycle” and
our “Gogo” project to reuse our bags is gaining popularity. We also no longer have to buy bags for our
seedlings.
In the Eastern Cape the e'Pap feeding scheme uses the bags for carpet protection and as "raincoats" for the little ones!
