By Akani Nkuna

President Cyril Ramaphosa has commended the CEO-City Clean-up Programme as integral in efforts to revitalise the City of Johannesburg (CoJ), dubbing the campaign as “impactful” for lobbying business people to partake in direct activities to renew the city.

Ramaphosa participated in the last day of the three-day programme in Kliptown, Soweto where he joined CoJ mayor Dada Morero, MECs, CEOs and community leaders to clean up the area whilst engaging with members of the community to demonstrate government’s willingness to improve the quality of the city and its surrounding areas.

“You have already started, and your work is being seen as being impactful; people are noticing it. Although critics will always say ‘this is just for show, this is just for the G20,’ but I do believe that this will be durable and that you will be able to take the work that you are doing forward,”
