| Dear Residents of Harfield Village, On Sunday, June 11, we will be hosting our 2nd Harfield Village Dream Clean. I encourage you all to come and join us from 10-12noon. We live in a beautiful Village, but we do have litter issues and cleaning up starts with us. Did you know? South Africans generate about 55 million tons of waste every year. Litter continues to largely be a deliberate act. But why do people intentionally litter? Studies have found that the answer generally boils down to four main reasons. – Laziness or carelessness – Lack of access to bins – Lenient law enforcement – Presence of litter already in the area Let’s combat this as a Community. We’ll see you on the 11th June!  Please follow these basic guidelines if you need help or need to alert someone urgently… Call: Police 10111 and Fidelity ADT Emergency: 086 1212 301 Also call Har-Lyn Neighbourhood Watch: 071 802 2454 (Please hold on the line if no one answers right away, as it will forward through to F-ADT).
