The City had already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to provide support to ASEZ campaigns and Councillor Mark Kleinschmidt, together with the City’s Solid Waste Department, donated supplies to help with the cleaning.

Over the past few months, the station has become a dumping site for rubbish and was in desperate need of a clean-up. Metrorail does not have the resources to keep railway stations clean and they are often left with a large amount of waste that has been disposed of and accumulates in the area.

Volunteers from ASEZ wanted to make the area more pleasant for commuters who use the station on a daily basis. The station clean-up is just one of the many activities the group have undertaken as part of their SAVE Movement, which focuses on raising awareness, social services, victim relief and environmental protection.

The City recognises the group's effort to bring about change in their communities and will continue to support their movement.
