Itireleng Parks Team's receives long-waited award
BOIPATONG.- Itireleng Parks Team finally got rewarded for their hard work.
The team, under the leadership of Parks Mofokeng, received R50 000 for taking second place.
This was during the Green Economy Branding Marketing Services Summit held at Sedibeng College in Vanderbijlpark on Thursday and Friday.
Speaking to Sedibeng Ster, the jubilant Mofokeng said they came in second position following their impressive presentation of Itireleng Parks Team's contribution in the community.
His organisation was established during the nationwide lockdown (Covid-19) in 2020 when they volunteered to clean the Boipatong township.
Back at the summit, Mofokeng said there were nine of them, and finishing in second place was the greatest achievement for the Itireleng Parks Team. When Itirelang Parks Team's name was called, there were celebrations and tears of joy from the team members. Despite the challenges and work as volunteers, the team never got discouraged.
Mofokeng said it wasn't easy, as some of the group members got discouraged along the way, but most of them continued with their mission to clean the townships. For example, the team cleaned the streets, schools, clinics, and turned the dumping place next to Lebohang Secondary School into a community park. Mofokeng told Sedibeng Ster that this reward came at the right time when they needed motivation.
'I must say this without being biased, Sedibeng Ster played a huge role in our success, and we will always be grateful for the platform it gave us. We were an unknown group when we started, and thanks to the newspaper for giving us this platform to promote ourselves, for the work that we do within the community. We also want to thank Cape Gate for believing in us, donating tools to the Itireleng Parks Team. Not forgetting those individuals who also contributed to the success of the Itireleng Parks Team,' said Mofokeng.
