Hello EDGE readers, and a belated Happy New Year to you all! Our first edition of 2026 is out today - the online version is live at www.edgenews.co.za and printed copies will be on the streets from lunchtime onwards. We lead with two celebrations - the amazing 'Mookie Botha' turning 100 years old, and (as is tradition) the first day at school - which for most is today! We also cover the latest in Knysna's water crisis - including the Sedge Ratepayers' point of view, plus lots of other news, views and PHEW!s that make local life so very interesting.

SMUTSVILLE UNITES FOR CLEANER COMMUNITY ![]()
![]()
Across five days in December, a huge organised effort by community members in Smutsville to clean-up their neighbourhood. In hot sunny weather, up to 85 volunteers worked each day for a cleaner, healthier environment.![]()

Collective efforts resulted in more than 4000 black sacks being filled and truck loads of bulk waste- an estimated 40,000 kgs of waste cleared - everything from garden waste, plastic packaging (cheap sugary cola bottles plentiful), small electronics, batteries, old shoes and clothing. Disposal of wastes taken care by Knysna Municipality as each day ended with a portion of recyclable PET bottles delivered to a local recycling business.![]()

The team from AfriForum/ KaapseForum were on-site with power tools building wooden waste containers (nicknamed donkeys) and cages, which were placed in strategic locations across Smutsville. These now assist to formalise waste collection points better and contain rubbish from dogs and animals. ![]()

Community member Melissa Damons and Recorra's, Ed van Reenen Co-Chair the Smutsville Waste Action Group who arranged the cleanup. And with special thanks to steering group leaders Cecilia McKay, Fregen Galant, Vemesia Galant and Rethea Lombaard![]()
The group is planning further waste infrastructure improvements for Smutsville and community engagement projects. Any interest or enquiries can be directed to Melissa on 0772625905 or Ed on 0798256182
