THE ANC leadership said it is not happy about the filth in Atteridgeville, Tshwane.
Led by ANC treasurer-general, Dr Gwen Ramokgopa, the party leaders embarked on a programme called Remmogo which means we're together with the community.
Ramokgopa said they visited the kasi after the community complained about the filth and smell as a result of illegal dumping and rubbish not collected.
"This is because of the collapse of Tshwane Municipality services. We decided to work with councillors to make sure the area is clean so that the community lives in a clean and healthy environment," she said.
Ramokgopa further said they were worried about the community who was paying rates to the municipality but not getting services.
"Atteridgeville used to be the cleanest kasi in Mzansi, and the deterioration is regrettable."
Ramokgopa said they decided to work with communities to ensure waste was removed, and also spoke about recycling.
She said they cut grass where young people played football.
"We also discovered that some were not registered. We did online registering," she said.
Ramokgopa also said they cut the lawns, cleaned rubbish and looked at ablution facilities at the Makhaza Sports Ground, which appears to have been abandoned.

She said there was an area that required transformers and reported it to the province. ANC volunteers were serving the community and celebrating the freedom and advancing a better life, she said.
Gauteng ANC secretary Thembinkosi "TK" Nciza said for the longest time, the party has been telling the people that the DA doesn't love them.
"The DA government is brutal towards our people. We encourage you to use the power you have, which is the vote. We're coming here to intervene to remove rubbish," he said.
"We always have an interest in intervening where our people are calling us. We're putting transformers in the province."
Nciza said he was confident that the people of Atteridgeville would vote for the ANC.
Community leader Samuel Masilela said he would die an ANC supporter.
"I'm proud of the ANC. It freed us from oppression during apartheid. The leadership promised to bring President Cyril Ramaphosa and Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi to our kasi," he said.
