The Bokramspruit River in Cape Town is a vital part of the local water system and a model for river upkeep. The City has allocated over R890,000 for maintenance work, which provides jobs and promotes socioeconomic growth. By removing vegetation, silt, and litter, and with residents playing their part in keeping the river clean, the vibrancy of the Bokramspruit River can be safeguarded for continued benefits to the local population. The future of the river lies in the hands of both the city authorities and its residents.
