The Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID) has kicked off its 2019 “Show you care” campaign with an ambitious fundraising drive to raise R100 000 over a three-month period to help key NGO partners further their invaluable work with the homeless in the Central City.

It’s time to come clean in the Central City and wise up on waste. The mounting cost of keeping downtown Cape Town clean, and why we need to become responsible about rubbish or pay the price, is the message of the Cape Town Central City Improvement District’s (CCID) annual #KeepItClean campaign.
