The CCID furthermore, cleaned more than 20 000 drains during the financial year, cleaned more than 3 000 storm water drains, replaced 180 drain covers, removed more than 3 000 illegal posters and removed more than 3 000 incidents of graffiti. The organisation’s social division engaged with almost 6 000 street people and helped almost 300 people to go to shelters. More than 100 people were helped to go home in an attempt to reunite them with their families.
In 2016 the CCID joined the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities programme, vowing to implement and adapt its own programmes as far as possible to ensure the future resilience of the Mother City’s CBD.
