The streets around Holy Cross Church in Nyanga Cape Town had become an illegal dumping ground. Neighbours took the opportunity during lockdown to clear the rubbish and rubble and to create a pavement garden. Where there is a will there is a way! What is most beautiful is that the street is named after a former rector, Fr Mfenyana who recently passed away and now Mfenyana Street looks beautiful again!
