Clean streets need not be a privilege for only the wealthy

The Daily Maverick published an opinion-focused piece arguing that clean streets and proper waste management should not be a privilege reserved for wealthy areas. The coverage highlights the psychological and social impact of illegal dumping and neglected infrastructure on residential areas.

The commentary stresses that residents should not require financial capital or special permission to demand dignity, cleanliness, and protection for the places they call home, addressing systemic inequalities in municipal upkeep and urban environments.
