Thembelani Mnyani , Lukhanyo (Giovanno) Grootboom and Nkosekhaya Booi (Lali) have caused a happy fluttering among middle-class Makhandans. Known as the 'cleaning trio', the three entrepreneurs took to the town's 'western' roads to fix potholes and clean roadside rubble, for a small fee of R5 donation from passing motorists. Their aim: to grow the business or be employed by the local municipality, whose job it actually is to maintain the roads. Here's their story.
