Story 1
City and provincial leaders have launched a Beautification and Greening Drive across Pretoria’s main roads, including the R55, Fountains Valley, Koeksister-Pretoria CBD, K69, and Solomon Mahlangu Drive.
The initiative cleared illegal dumping sites, picked up litter, and planted 200 trees, 7,000 shrubs, and hundreds of fruit and shade trees.
Officials say the drive not only brightens the city for G20 visitors in November but also promotes community responsibility, sustainable landscapes, and safer, more welcoming public spaces.
The campaign aims to create lasting green spaces that benefit both residents and the environment.
