Tshwane Executive Mayor, Dr Nasiphi Moya toured the University of Pretoria’s Moja Gabedi Community Engagement Hub in Hatfield on Wednesday.
The land where the hub is located is City-owned and used to be an illegal dumping site.
The University of Pretoria partnered with the City of Tshwane and took over the space transforming it into an urban agriculture and community engagement hub.
The land offers space for gardening, picnics, meeting centres and space for research.
Moja Gabedi is an example of the remarkable outcome of the City of Tshwane’s Adopt A Space Initiative.
It also serves as a beacon of urban regeneration and the revitalisation of decaying parts of the City into spaces of opportunity.
