Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, will take the Love Your Street service delivery programme to Kliptown in Soweto, on Tuesday morning.
The Minister will be accompanied by Johannesburg Mayor, Dada Morero, senior government officials, NGOs, and civil society organisations.
The campaign is a joint initiative of The Presidency and the Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) as part of government’s ongoing efforts to promote community pride, active citizenry, and clean and safe neighbourhoods.
“The Love Your Street campaign was launched in the Western Cape earlier this year, and was taken to the Ekhurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality in the past two weeks.
“The campaign continues to be rolled out to other provinces to accelerate and strengthen effective, integrated service-delivery interventions, including Gender-Based Violence and Femicide [GBVF] awareness by transforming neglected, poorly lit, overgrown parks and open spaces identified as GBVF hotspots into safe, clean community spaces, while educating community members about GBVF reporting mechanisms and available services,” the GCIS said ahead of Tuesday’s leg of the campaign.
The campaign also builds on initiatives such as the Clean Cities and Towns campaign, launched by Deputy President Paul Mashatile in 2025.

“The campaign also fast-tracks the Presidential 1 billion Trees Planting campaign which promotes a collaborative and inclusive approach to environmental sustainability, greening, climate resilience, and community participation across all communities,” the statement read.
