The streets of Bulawayo were so clean and shining after the Big Clean Up on Saturday morning, May 16, that we had to wear our sunglasses!

Over one thousand people took to the streets armed with brooms, shovels, rubber gloves, plastic bags and masks, to Clean up our City.

The Honourable David Coltart, Senator for Khumalo Constituency, was there with his shovel as was the Mayor of Bulawayo His Worship Thaba Moyo.

Hundreds of school children from 14 local schools gathered together with businessmen, service clubs, church groups, soccer clubs and ordinary citizens, to deal with the pretty bad problem which has come about due to a lack of amenities available to the City Council.
