Clear storm damage from Mandla's garden in Ekurhuleni
Garden rescue day in Ekurhuleni: bring gloves and a rake.
🇿🇦 Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa106 views
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Ekurhuleni for 23 years. After the storm in August, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.
