WATCH: INSPIRING WEBINAR ON TURNING YOUR TOWN AROUND
In this inspiring webinar we meet Stephen Herbst, an ordinary Margate businessman with an extraordinary mission. He is the driving force behind Tidy Towns, a dynamic movement that has swept across the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. It united residents, local businesses, and even global supporters in a shared vision of transforming and rejuvenating the Ray Nkonyeni Municipality, from its stunning beaches to its bustling streets.
You’ll see that Tidy Towns is more than just a cleanup — it's a testament to the power of collective action with neighbours and strangers alike rolling up their sleeves to repair potholes, clear debris, and maintain a pristine environment. The results? Cleaner, safer, and more vibrant communities that shine as beacons of what can be achieved when people come together with purpose.
The Tidy Towns momentum is building as communities up and down the coastline are eager to join the Tidy Towns revolution, each adding their unique energy and resources to the cause. Join them!
