Laudium Erasmia Cleanup Making Strides Despite City Council Constraints


10 February 2025   •   ~2 min read

In recent months, the Laudium/Erasmia community has observed and participated in a significant movement toward cleaner and more beautiful streets .This initiative, spearheaded by the local cleanup group, has continued to flourish despite recent revelations from our Councillor about the council's struggles with maintaining the area's long grass due to equipment constraints.


The determination and resilience of the cleanup volunteers have not only compensated for these municipal shortcomings but have embellished our community in ways that have not gone unnoticed. Residents of both Erasmia and Laudium bear witness to the tireless efforts that have kept the entrances into our area presentable and our main streets, including those within Laudium and Erasmia pristine. The grass has been kept at bay, curbs cleaned, and the aesthetic of our community enhanced through constant vigilance.


Beyond the physical labor of maintaining cleanliness, the group has extended its hand to support local institutions, aiding various schools within the area and the Laudium Hospital. These actions underscore the group's commitment to not just the beautification of Laudium and Erasmia but to the wellbeing of its residents.


It is through direct comparison that the magnitude of their success becomes evident. When measuring the state of our community against others within the tshwane municipal jurisdiction, it is apparent that Laudium and Erasmia stands out, demonstrating that even with limited resources, significant progress is possible. The cleanup group, though occasionally delayed by the scarcity of resources, has shown that with persistence, tasks are completed effectively.


The growth of this initiative from its inception to a community-wide movement is commendable. Such success could not have been achieved without the generous support of local businesses and the dedication of residents both within and beyond the Laudium/Erasmia area. Their contributions, driven by a profound love for their community, have not only sustained but propelled the cleanup efforts forward.


The journey towards a cleaner, more vibrant Laudium/Erasmia is ongoing. While much has been achieved, there remains work to be done. Yet, with the continued support of the community and the indomitable spirit of the cleanup group, the future looks promising. The residents of Laudium Erasmia cleanup can take pride in knowing their efforts have not only made visible changes but have set a benchmark for community-led initiatives.
