South Africans of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to do their share to keep our country beautiful during Clean Up South Africa week which will take place from the 13th to the 18th of September 2010. 

Over 200 school children from Khayalitshe collected nearly 100 bags of rubbish to transform stretches of Monwabisi Beach  this weekend as part of the Our School Cares Programme. This is a Peninsula Beverages environmental initiative, in partnership with the Environmental Action Group.  It is the third of eight beach and river clean ups for 2010.

This year€™s OUR SCHOOL CARES environmental competition started off with a good show of enthusiastic learners eager to clean the Strand beach on Earth Day. No less than 9 schools, 18 teachers and 310 learners, plus 60 dedicated Peninsula Beverages (the sponsors) staff and their children, pitched in and systematically stripped the beach of 400 bags of rubbish in one hour!
