Communities join the Love Your Street clean-up movement

Love Your Street starts with a small promise: look after the place directly in front of you. This campaign story introduces a repeatable civic action that any household, school, church, business, stokvel or neighbourhood group can join.

The strongest published versions will be local and specific. They should name the street or area, the people who organised the clean-up, what changed, how often the group meets, and how the municipality or local businesses supported the effort. Before-and-after photos are encouraged, but the editorial standard remains the same: no invented participant numbers, no exaggerated claims and no shaming communities that still need help.

Editorial note: replace this draft with the first verified street submission once campaign photos and consent are available.
