Yard rescue for Siyabonga, 72: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Johannesburg: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Johannesburg for 36 years. After the storm in July, 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 a recent fall.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
