The South African government is creating cleaner, greener, and more inclusive urban spaces across the country.

The initiative will be launched by the Deputy President Paul Mashatile on Friday, 6 June 2025.

“The Clean Cities and Towns campaign is envisaged to start a nationwide movement, encouraging citizens to come together for community cleaning activities throughout townships and villages.

“This unified effort will not only promote cleaner surroundings but also cultivate a sense of community spirit and pride,” the Presidency said in a statement.

Friday’s launch will take place at the Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication in Kliptown, Soweto.

In addition, this initiative will be part of a larger service delivery effort by the government, aligned with the District Development Model (DDM), of which the Deputy President is a champion. Source: SAnews.gov.za
