Gauteng Provincial government supports Operation Phakama Vaal
Operation Phakama Vaal is supported by the Gauteng Provincial government and its main focus is to bring back service delivery and confidence in the community. It (also) aims, among others, to encourage communities to keep the environment clean. The Gauteng Provincial government said that the initiative follows the recent Provincial Intergrated Service Delivery Programme visit that seeks to address service delivery issues including crime, infrastructure maintenance and waste management amongst other things.
'The week long operation will focus on Sebokeng, Vanderbijlpark, Evaton and Vereening mainly tackling illegal dumping, promoting recycling and restoring neglected public space,' a statement by the Provincial government read.
On Monday teams (employees from ELM), supported by others from different municipalities in the province gathered at ELM Masoheng, Sebokeng offices to start the operation. The campaign will run throughout this week, and ends on Sunday.

WATCH: Caxton shows its heart on Mandela Day
Staff of Caxton Local Media Joburg East as well as the Benoni City Times slapped on some hairnets and slipped on gloves as we endeavoured to make 1 000 sandwiches in celebration of Mandela Day on July 18. Loaves of bread were stacked high as staff members abandoned their desks to prepare delectable sarmies, which were donated to various charity organisations within each publication's footprint. Moved to tears, Antonette Grobler, of the Salvation Army Benoni Goodwill Centre, received the City Times' contribution. 'I cannot remember when last anyone did anything for our organisation for Mandela Day,' she said. 'Knowing that each individually packed sandwich was not only prepared with us in mind, but that our local community newspaper identified us as worthy beneficiaries, is truly heart-warming.' Casting her eyes on a further donation of packets of soup, which were donated by Caxton staff, Grobler said that the initiative will assist greatly in keeping bellies full and hearts filled with hope. 'I cannot wait to start handing these treats out at our weekly Friday soup kitchen,' continued Grobler. 'We are incredibly grateful to Caxton and the Benoni City Times. You are always willing to assist local charity organisations' tell their stories to garner ongoing support.'
