Absolutely awesome! This is our South Africa! Well done, everyone involved!!!

[@nictron99]

It is not us vs them. It is us against a fallen world, a fallen country, fallen ideologies and fallen politicians. All we can do is love our neighbours as we love ourselves and love the world God gave us. Well done Tidy Towns and the communities. Take it back and love each other as Christ loved us. May we become a country again that honours God and this country he gave us by keeping it clean externally and internally.

[@mikehogan9265]

Glad to see what is happening through Tidy Towns. I loved the South Coast and lived there for some time. My two sons were born in Port Shepstone hospital. We migrated to Oz 30 years ago but last year had the opportunity to take them down the coast to see their roots.If we ever moved back to SA it would be back to the South Coast.

[@helendelport3397]

Awesome guys I've shared this across the land.. encouraging tourists to come back to the South Coast 💯💥🎶

[@lesleyerwee6418]

So proud of the South Coast Community. A fantastic initiative and so inspirational. Thank you for reminding me how beautiful my home coastline is and more importantly how wonderful my ‘homies’ are! Without them this would not have transpired. What an amazing and positive testimony to what can be done when people truly come together for the common good. Be very proud of yourselves Tidy Towns Team. WE are.

[@petervantonder2889]

We as a family used to holiday at Skippers Shelly beach in the 70s and 80s so proud of everyone for taking their towns back

Very cool. This is the only way we can get SA clean and functioning again. Communities stand together in place of the absolutely useless government. Well done Tidy Towns. A recipe for every community in SA.

[@garagepie]

Absolutely incredible 👏

[@TheMarkus6275]

I just want to give a shout out to Round Table. I'm a member of the Association of Round Tables of Southern Africa (ARTSA) and we have individual tables and structures in place country wide that are enthusiastic to help with initiatives just like this. We help get corporate funding for projects and each table has a trust account which can assist with tracking and paying donations of public money for these things. Many structures are already in place, let's work together!

[@robinjohnlloyd-jones5879]

What a great community driven effort!

[@ryanbroughton4082]

Absolutely superb. Well done to all.

[@lelaniecrous-boulle2563]

I recently moved to Palm Beach. On my daily dog walks, I take a plastic bag with me and pick up rubbish. It's so easy - I try to spread the idea because I believe every bit helps.

[@thekikster11]

Excellent guys…you are setting an example. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@vrassoc]

Are we allowed to ask how the rates and taxes that you pay monthly is being spent by the municipality, to do what is now paid for a second time?

[@RichardMullin1]

Of course you are allowed to ask but I think you missed the point of the story. They did this because they were sick of pointing fingers and complaining. They have put that all to one side and started 'doing" with the hope that the wider community will join in and see what is possible when honest people work together

[@vrassoc]

No, I didn't miss the point of the story. I have admiration for what is being done. But is demanding the services that you pay for really finger pointing and complaining? Can we only get any chance of a decent life by paying taxes and still doing the work ourselves? Is it not allowing criminals to simply get away with their crimes with zero consequences? Is that sustainable?

[@RichardMullin1]

@@vrassoc I think they are probably tired of demanding and not getting. They are in a no win situation. Sit and complain about what is right and what their rights are, or get up, do it yourself and "pay slightly higher taxes". They probably put a lot of these expenses through their business so pay less tax anyway. Hopefully the people that are responsible for keeping the crooks in jobs see what is possible ( jobs and income from tourists coming back wise ) and hopefully make moves to get rid of them or at least hold them accountable.

[@RickyMacHatton]

What a job

[@jacoswart4397]

Make government irrelevant, the way it should be. Well done tidy town people

[@graemeneale9311]

The gentleman at the three minute time stamp says that the government does not have the resources to do the work Why do we pay taxes, VAT, fuel levies, toll fees and, and, and,

I want 2 move to durban

[@Nolies-yf8bs]

It's so sad that the municipality manager and all his cronies earn the big money, the manager and cronies misuse the money! These good people should be earning the big pay cheque not that municipality manager that had no clue how to manage!!

[@topcattopcat3498]

this is all good, but do we still have beach-patrol, flora & fauna, police & traffic-police ?? i think not

[@JaniAnders-vx6wx]

Taxes going to the municipality should be going to this project.

[@SS-nu6cr]

Well done to these people. But what sticks in my throat is that these are are doing the work for free while useless cadres get paid for doing absolutely nothing!

[@hannavanderberg1673]

Just keep the tax money cause you are doing all the work while the anc pockets mercs

[@Michael-gr6fv]

The sad thing is that the thieves who stole the money will get away with the theft

[@saroadtrippers]

Great example of what can be done for South African Tourism. Well Played! #tidytowns @SouthAfricanTourism kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpmvlWZrbrdlbqM
