Students from the Tshwane University of Technology have taken it upon themselves, to join the fight against global warming. They have started a Green Campus Campaign, with this campaign the students go around the soshanguve campus residence, Telkom residence and the north campus picking up papers, boxes, plastics and glasses. They have now spread their horizon, they now even clean some parts of the Soshanguve community, and the campaign takes place once a month every Friday or Saturday.

Campaign Co-ordinator, Tsediso Nthakhe “this campaign started small, but because of the hard-work and dedication we have managed to sustain the campaign and it’s still going strong.” he said

“We are happy as a team, and we would like to see other students joining the campaign and the fight against global warming in our campus. The main objective to grow this campaign and make sure that every University has a structure or body that belongs to the Green Campaign.” He said

The reflection of the campaign’s success is visible, it’s not just lip service and its very influential, as the group managed to ask random Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) students passing on the streets, to help them or volunteer to pick a papers with them. The group also won a R1000 (one thousand rand) from the Tshwane University of Technology, after having the best presentation about cleanliness in our campuses, against other Tshwane University of Technology Campuses.

The Campaign gets support from the Residents Advisor and Representative of Soshanguve Campus Mr. Tshepo Tsatsane “we hope to educate more people about cleanliness with this campaign, and hope we will get a positive response from the students and the Tshwane University of Technology as a whole.” He said
