The mayor Geoff Makhubo said yesterday, “The City has over the last three days run an extensive drive to clean and sanitize taxi ranks and our bus stops in an effort to protect residents and our spaces.” Two of the main taxi ranks to be cleaned were Kliptown in Soweto and Noord Street in Johannesburg centre.
Do not be the first one to drop that paper, plastic, can, gum, whatever. Do not. We have cleaned up, don’t litter again. #lockDownSouthAfrica #day3oflockdown #CoronaUpdate ^TK pic.twitter.com/0KfgDxZCJN
