Mi7 spearheads Raisethorpe clean-up

In an amazing display of community spirit, Mi7 National Group spearheaded a clean-up of the Raisethorpe CBD last Saturday.

The security and emergency medical services company, in collaboration with local businesses, community organisations and NGO'S worked in partnership to spruce up the area which was becoming an eyesore.

In restoring the area to an acceptable state of cleanliness, the group also looked into the future by funding 40 new branded waste bins which were strategically placed throughout the CBD, ensuring that companies have the resources to keep the area clean.

Everyone worked together to achieve the common goal of restoring Raisethorpe to its former state.

This is the second year that Mi7 has embarked on a clean-up of the area. Last year's campaign yielded similar results such as clean streets, restored pedestrian barricades and new trashcan placements.

"This event isn't just a clean-up. It is an embodiment of our long-term vision for Raisethorpe and communities like them," said Mi7 National Group Director, Colin David.

"Our philosophy isn't just about providing top-notch security and medical services; it's about holistic community development. We believe in creating environments where businesses can thrive and residents can live safely. These annual clean-up campaigns are a cornerstone for building that future," David said.

"Mi7 extends its heartfelt gratitude to all volunteers and organisations that lent their support, including those who generously contributed cleaning supplies and refreshments. Together, they've strengthened the fabric of the Raisethorpe community, creating a template for cooperative civic engagement across South Africa," he added.

Other organisations that contributed towards the clean-up included:

SAPS, New Birth Ministries, Body Fuel
