Story 3
A Johannesburg recycler has brought joy to residents at Arbor Village retirement community in Bedfordview after gifting them a handmade wire model of the Eiffel Tower as a gesture of appreciation.
Isaac Moseme, who has collected and recycled waste from the village every Monday for the past four years, created the artwork using skills he first learned as a child on a Free State farm.
