Eight years after the President’s declaration, the National Environment Clean-up Day initiative is still going strong, with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), the Zimbabwe Media Commission (ZMC), the Zimbabwe Gender
Commission, and the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission participating in a clean-up campaign today.
On December 5, 2018, the President declared the first Friday of every month as a national clean-up day.
Speaking on the sidelines of the campaign, ZACC chairperson Mr Michael Reza said: “Cleanliness is next to godliness. Therefore, we must maintain cleanliness in our surroundings. We must ensure that our workplaces and public areas are clean and well-maintained.”
ZMC chairperson Professor Ruby Magosvongwe said: “This is just an extension of the recognition of the President’s call. I hope that each one of us has already cleaned up their offices, their work environment, and is also abstaining from contaminating the beauty within them, because what is happening outside may not necessarily be reflective of what’s going on inside.”
The team began the clean-up at a fuel station located on Sam Nujoma Street in Harare and proceeded to Herbert Chitepo Avenue, where they cleaned the area surrounding Harare Gardens and the ZACC offices.
