A clean-up mission took place on Human Rights Day March 21 at Robben Island through a partnership between the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, the Robben Island Museum, Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages, First National Bank, SANCCOB and the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation.
The initiative marked the partnerships second clean-up event and saw more than 200 volunteers collect multiple bags of litter as part of efforts to preserve the island as a National Heritage Site.
Seeing entities from varying industries come together for one common goal is really an inspiring sight to behold, and we are privileged to participate in, and contribute to, the events overall objective to remove human-generated waste and debris from Robben Island. Thank you to all partners who joined resources in support of the conservation of this incredible heritage site, said Nathalie Viljoen , Co-Lead of Ocean Campus at the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation.
