South Africa Dumps Diapers On Streets, My Street

I Please help me and poor, "Coloured" residents of Newtown, 5720, E.C. become "civilized" about basic environmental rules and practices. Government fails us at all levels. Yes, I am praying, talking to people here & churches, and also cleaning the street as I just did ( 8am, RSA TIME on Wednesday 2, February, 2022). II I wait, practice, set examples Today I made video samples My neighbor threw plastic & diapers Right outside my fence, as do others But this Brantley manages a food store I politely said, if U trash here, do it far "It's on the curb; I'm closest to such fare" His retort speaks sadly about Mandela And the laureate legacy with Dalai Lama: Brantley said: "don't worry, City burns it." I took a video of his trash, will report it III I also pray A good day For all neighbors Failing in manners Won't become trash Hate, injustice, cash
