Hirsch’s Fourways repairs potholes and cleans streets in Earth Day drive
Story 1
Hirsch’s Fourways repaired potholes and cleaned surrounding streets yesterday as part of an Earth Day community upliftment drive.
The home appliances and furnishings retailer’s team used materials sourced from a local hardware store to fill potholes around its premises and carried out a clean-up of nearby roads and public spaces.
The initiative was driven by frustration over deteriorating road conditions in the area and was well received by residents, who say it has made travel safer and helped ease daily damage to vehicles while longer-term municipal repairs are still awaited.

South Africa has secured a new Guinness World Record after a 15,98 metre long bunny chow was prepared in Centurion in Gauteng.
