The City of Joburg has welcomed the initiative by Sunninghill residents and businesses as 'it recognises reclaimers’ role in the City’s waste management'.

The bikes with a trailer attachment were donated to the reclaimers — who are members of African Reclaimers Organisation — by residents of Sunninghill with assistance from businesses. Steven Leeuw, from ARO, said this initiative was crucial to bridge the gap between residents and reclaimers in Sunninghill.
Slabber admitted that he was one of the residents who had called security on reclaimers. “Unfortunately, reclaimers are blanketed with criminal activity by residents in the neighbourhood because residents are not educated about the work they do,” he said.
