AfriForum Kempton Park plants trees at Zuurfontein Cemetery

AfriForum’s Kempton Park branch planted four trees at Zuurfontein Cemetery on 12 September as part of AfriForum’s Environmental Month initiative. Through the action, the branch also aims to highlight the importance of well-maintained public spaces in the community.

The branch planted one apricot tree, two peach trees and one shade tree at designated locations within the cemetery grounds.

“A cemetery is a place where many people visit and remember a loved one. It is important that such places are not neglected. By planting trees here during Environmental Month, we want to make a tangible contribution to caring for a place that holds special significance for families,” says André Badenhorst, chairperson of the AfriForum Kempton Park branch.

The trees will, over time, provide shade and greenery at the cemetery, provided they are properly cared for. AfriForum Kempton Park encourages residents to also become involved in caring for public spaces in their neighbourhoods.
