“If you want to improve people’s lives quickly, then starting a community food garden is a great place to start.” This message guided the recent community food gardening initiative organized by the West Rand District Municipality Mayor’s office in collaboration with the Fanyane Nhlapo Clinic in Mogale City, Kagiso 2. The event took place on Thursday, November 20, 2024, at the clinic’s previously unused space, transforming it into a hub of learning, planting, and community empowerment.
