Ceres: Dressed up for World Environment Day The Municipal Health Services (MHS) of the Cape Winelands District Municipality (CWDM) collaborated in an environmental awareness drive for World Environment Day. As part of our ongoing commitment to protect the public’s health and the environment, MHS participated in an effort to promote environmental responsibility in the Witzenberg region.
promoting clean, healthy living spaces.
The initiative hosted its first community outreach in April – a clean-up campaign along the Dwarsriver. The momentum continued on 5 June 2025 when our EHPs and partners marked World Environment Day under the global theme of ‘Recycling’.
Our Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs) in Ceres joined a local partnership initiative aimed at tackling environmental challenges, particularly the impact of illegal dumping in and around the town of Ceres. Illegal dumping is more than just an eyesore – it also contributes to the spread of diseases, creates breeding ground for pests and vermin, and places a significant financial and operational burden on municipal resources. In response, the Ceres’ly Clean, Ceres’ly Green initiative was launched. This is a community-driven environmental project focused on raising awareness around environmental care and
Die Munisipale Gesondheidsdienste (MGD) van die Kaapse Wynland Distriksmunisipaliteit (KWDM) het Wêreldomgewingsdag gevier met ’n bewusmakingsveldtog in Ceres. Onder die naam van die Ceres’ly Clean, Ceres’ly Green-inisiatief het Omgewingsgesondheidpraktisyns (OGP’s) saam met plaaslike vennote gefokus op die impak van onwettige storting en die bevordering van skoon, gesonde omgewings. Die veldtog het in April afgeskop met ’n skoonmaakaksie langs die Dwarsrivier en is op 5 Junie 2025 voortgesit met ’n opedag by die plaaslike materiaalherwinningsfasiliteit, wat deur sowat 80 inwoners bygewoon is. Die tema was ‘Recycling’. Ander aktiwiteite het in Drakenstein plaasgevind, waar OGP’s 89 kinders by Butterfly House in die Paarl betrek het met ’n interaktiewe sessie oor herwinning, bome en handewas. Die sukses van die veldtog was te danke aan samewerking met Witzenberg Munisipaliteit, Friends of the Museum, Ceres Toerisme en die Ceres Business Initiative. Die MGD bevestig hiermee hul verbintenis tot ’n gesonder, skoner omgewing vir almal.
A community open day was organised, where about 80 residents from across Witzenberg visited the local municipality’s material recovery facility. This educational site visit helped raise awareness about sustainable waste practices. The success of the event was made possible through collaboration with key local stakeholders, including the Witzenberg Municipality, Friends of the Museum, Ceres Tourism, and the Ceres Business Initiative. World Environmental Day initiatives took place in other parts of our district too. Our EHPs in Drakenstein visited Butterfly House in Paarl where they led an engaging and interactive session with 89 children – sparking awareness around recycling, the importance of trees, and the essential practice of hand washing. The Municipal Health Services continues to play a critical role in managing environmental risks by assessing and addressing the physical, chemical, and biological factors that impact community wellbeing. On this World Environment Day, we reaffirmed our commitment to a cleaner, healthier environment for all.
