Manenberg men bring flowers to the community
When picturing the men of Maneneberg in the Western Cape, planting flower gardens isn’t the first image that comes to mind.
However, a group of men have been working to beautify the gang-ridden community by planting flowers.
Wayne Coetzee, Ashraf Meyer and Thaakir Armod are being praised for their efforts by the Manenberg community. It all started when Wayne needed a way to make money to support his family through the lockdown. He thought about selling wood but noticed that people were fearful of stopping. He looked at his surroundings and noticed that it looked messy and unsafe.
That was when he came up with the idea to clear a space that usually was covered in litter from peoples cars, and to plant flowers.
