Youth transform dumping site into thriving food garden

Armed with just seven hectares of land, the Vaal Youth Antivirus  is on a mission to turn once painful memories into a flourishing food  garden in the Gauteng kasi of Sebokeng.

Before, the patch of land was a rubbish dumping site and a hotspot for  violent attacks in Zone 14 of the Sebokeng township near Vanderbiljpark.  The catalyst towards cleaning the site and growing a garden happened a  few years ago when a child was found dead after falling into a pit.
