This past week, Clean City SA proudly participated in the CEO City Partnership Programme — a powerful collaboration driving cleaner, safer and revitalised communities across Johannesburg. 

From inner-city clean-ups to community engagement, tree planting, and broadly supporting this initiative, our team worked alongside city officials, business leaders, and civil society to build the Johannesburg we all deserve. 

A big thank you to the Executive Mayor, the programme partners, and every volunteer who rolled up their sleeves to make a visible impact. 

Together, we are proving that a cleaner city is possible when we unite for action.
Let’s keep the momentum going! 🌱🧹🇿🇦
