Cleaning teams were busy yesterday removing the rubbish left by the New Year’s festivities across the city of Maputo, starting with Costa do Sol beach and leaving the capital looking a little better by the end of yesterday morning.
Municipal council staff collected thousands of cans and bottles from the beach into containers placed along the Marginal Avenue, from where tractors and trucks transported them to the waste facility at Hulene.
John Mucavele, municipal Director of Hygiene and Cemeteries, promised that cleaning would continue until the capital again looked welcoming and the image of a metropolis of garbage was just a memory.
Mucavele explained that there was a change in approach to garbage in the city, with more litter bins in the streets and more frequent collections. Civic education campaigns are also under way, with encouraging results reported due to the changing habits of the city’s residents.
The package of changes includes a fine of two thousand meticais or the equivalent in work for people caught littering or dumping illegally, he adds.
