Council is cutting down old trees that pose danger to life in Africa Unity Square as part of the park renewal efforts. Residents have previously urged council to renew the park by planting new trees and manicuring its surroundings. The renewal project began last year with the planting of trees that are now three metres tall. Old trees have been falling damaging vehicles, buildings, blocking roads, and posing danger to human life. Council will soon renew the water fountains and beef up park security during day and night. The park borehole will be replaced to ensure watering the park is continuous. Council is partnering Meikles Hotel in the project.
