  Doing a MOOP Swoop is rather tricky when it’s windy.   Your efforts feel right away like Sisyphus work, because where you just cleaned up is now a new heap of rubbish flying around the neighbourhood.   Wang Zhiyuan’s 37-Foot-Tall Trash Tornado Spirals Into the Sky   But you can also use the wind to your advantage.

#MoopSwoop confirms: The #CoronaVirus is here. #CoronaVirusInSA #CoronaVirusSA #PreparedNotScared #FlattenTheCurve 

  Early on Friday morning the streets were so quiet, I decided to do a mini MOOP Swoop just so we don’t drown in rubbish during lockdown.

  Quickly checking the abandoned field at the corner of Greatmore and York Street, I came across evidence that indeed, the coronavirus is here, in the heart of Woodstock:

The abandoned corner plot at Greatmore and York Street is a health hazard with medical…

Happy Heritage Day!

The sun is out, it’s just a bit windy.

With Cape Town’s strong gusts it is no surprise that litter gets blown about and collects in the corners of our neighbourhood.
