Clean Queenstown continued its efforts to clear an overgrown waterway in Top Town, Komani, on Tuesday, 10 November, making further progress despite scorching temperatures.
The ongoing clean-up project involves clearing approximately half a kilometre of heavily overgrown waterway as part of the organisation’s efforts to improve the condition of public spaces in Komani.
According to an update shared by Clean Queenstown, Tuesday’s work formed part of the second phase of the project, which has been underway for several weeks.
Following a brief pause in operations, the team resumed work with renewed enthusiasm, focusing on cutting down trees, removing large weeds and clearing building rubble found along the waterway.
Clean Queenstown expressed disappointment at the amount of building rubble discovered during the clean-up, which the organisation believes had been deliberately dumped in the area.
Despite the difficult working conditions and the challenges posed by the overgrown vegetation and dumped waste, the team continued making progress towards its goal.
The organisation described Tuesday as a productive day, with volunteers pushing ahead despite the intense heat.
The project forms part of Clean Queenstown’s broader efforts to improve the town’s appearance and tackle neglected areas through its #CleanQueenstown initiative.
Work along the waterway remains ongoing as the organisation continues towards its goal of clearing the half-kilometre section.
